The Audubon Relay for Life held their annual event on Friday and are excited to announce they have raised more this year than any previous year. The final count came in at over $37,000, and Relay Co-Chair, Kelley Christensen, credited the success to the hard work and dedication of their fund-raising teams. She adds the auction played a huge role in the effort.
With a smaller population, the impact of cancer is felt much more strongly than in a more urban area. She says it is not hard to come up with names of those affected by the disease.
Each year the Audubon County Relay continues to see more success. Christensen says it is a team-effort to make it all come together.
Calhoun County held their event earlier this month which raised nearly $32,000. They also surpassed records in total amounts raised. The area’s largest event, the Carroll County Relay for Life, will be held this Friday, June, 23 at noon at the Carroll Athletic Field.
