Relay for Life continues here with a new name and familiar purpose

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 25, 2014 - 10:32pm

Organizers for the Bluffton-area Relay for Life have announced plans for this summer’s event, which take place Friday and Saturday, June 20-21, at Salzman Stadium, according to Lynda Best, chairperson.

Best told The Icon that the Relay has set a goal to raise $35,000.

In July 2013, the American Cancer Society decided to drop Bluffton as a Relay for Life site so that it could focus more on the county-wide events. As a result, the event held in Bluffton is now an independent, third-party program with 100 percent of the net funds raised going to the American Cancer Society.
