Temple Terrace Relay Raises $100,000

From Temple Terrace Relay for Life:

The City of Temple Terrace went “Wild to Find the Cure” at the April 27-28.

The track at was filled with supporters who turned out to make the statement that cancer need not be faced alone. Approximately $100,000 was raised by the efforts of more than 30 teams over a period of nine months, culminating at Relay. The 18 hours between the opening and closing ceremonies were well spent with activities, games, parades and assorted fundraising opportunities.
