Each year, teams from around the community join together to help raise funds for Relay For Life – a national event aimed to honor cancer survivors and remember lost loved ones, while raising awareness and financial support for the American Cancer Society.

This Saturday and Sunday, the annual Turlock Relay For Life will take place at the Dutcher Middle School track.

The Relay for Life movement raises more than $400 million every year for the American Cancer Society, which uses the donated funds for cancer research. The funds are also used by the American Cancer Society to provide free information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers.
