American Cancer Society Relay for Life Update

Steve & Linda Victor
Thanks to everyone who came out to support one of ARC’s Charities at the 13th Annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life of the Sun Cities event on February 16th. It was a wonderful day at Beardsley Park. We honored around 95 cancer survivors with a Victory lap and dinner. ARC members stepped up by bringing their cars, money for the American Cancer Society, buying raffle tickets, dedicating luminaria bags to those who are fighting cancer or have won or lost the battle, and food for the Valley View Food Bank. We had 13 cars. ARC raised $1,190 at the event, with a total of $5,070. Always looking for ways to increase our raffle fundraiser sales or other fundraising ideas. The total day’s contributions were over $6,000, with a grand total for the relay of just over $52,500. We were able to hold one benefit concert and a bowling benefit, which helped increase our total. Looking forward to next February when we will be having our 14th annual Relay in Beardsley Park. Considering joining the team, attending the concerts, dedicating a luminaria, and donating to the cause. Donations can still be made at:
