Relay For Life

On Friday night the American Cancer Society hosted Relay For Life at SUNY Oneonta. The event started at 7pm and ended at 7am the next day. The event is made up of different groups created by friends or team members, a beginning ceremony starts off the night with stories from cancer survivors and a few special performances. Teams come with sleeping bags, snacks, games and anything else they can bring to keep them awake through the 12 hours!! It was a crazy night but we had soo much fun. Each team must have at least one team member walking the track surrounding the event at all times. My team was from the Bluefields Cafe. We brought an espresso machine and tons delicious cookies, brownies and cake to fundraise. There was music playing the entire night provided by the campus radio station WONY and many guest bands. Every ten minutes there would be a different activity that the teams could participate in to win prizes. By the end of the night we had raised over $64,000 for cancer research!!! preetty amazing!!
