Relay for Life ‘10

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Relay for Life Rememberance WalkThanks to all those who were able to make it out to support AMSA in this year’s Relay for Life event. The experience was a huge success raising money for survivors of cancer, victims who have lost their lives to cancer, and research to fund programs that aim at discovering a cure for cancer. All the while, we had fun sharing the experience with others and look forward to participating in next year’s event.

For photo of this year’s relay, feel free to visit the gallery. Enjoy!
