Mini Relay for Life in Sun City Center raises almost $6,000
Between 40 and 50 area residents participated in the Mini Relay for Life at Freedom Plaza May 20. The event raised $2,500 on site and $3,300 online for the American Cancer Society. The funds will be added to the $165,000 previously raised in South Shore’s two earlier relays in March.
Organizers were pleased with both turnout and results, especially since the event was the first in several years to be held in Sun City Center. They are already talking about moving the date back when the weather is cooler and the community’s snowbirds are still around.
This year’s attendees were treated to a car show, DJ, karaoke and golf cart-decorating contests, the chance to win raffle prizes from Bella Cucina, Freedom Fairways, Fiore’s Grill, Walmart and Bob Evans and more.
The relay was sponsored by the Retired Officers Corp. at Freedom Plaza.
