Teams Forming for Local Relays for Life

Teams raise funds to fight cancer and find a cure and then participate in a rally at local high schools where survivors and friends walk around the high school tracks throughout the night in a show of unity. The event also pays tribute to victims of cancer through a luminaria display.
The Riverview Relay For Life will take place March 31 at 2 p.m. at . Riverview currently has 36 teams and 325 participants registered with $15,556 raised so far.
