This year, Relay For Life of Homewood set out to raise $65,000 for the American Cancer Society, and it exceeded that goal by $5,000, raising more than $70,000 for the fight against cancer.
For the first time, the annual Relay for Life event had all five Homewood schools participate. The Edgewood Elementary Choir, Homewood High School Show Choir, Homewood Men Striving For Success and the HHS Cheerleaders and Star Spangled Girls provided entertainment at the event.
Homewood High School was the top fund- raising team, bringing in almost $15,000 for the American Cancer Society through events like Bike For Bagwell. Relay For Life also this year hosted its first ever 5K run, which raised $3,000 for the event.
The 2013 Relay For Life of Homewood is scheduled for Friday, April 26 starting at 4 p.m. Sign up or learn more at RelayForLife.org/ HomewoodAL.
