Relay For Life Numbers - Amazing!

What happened last weekend in just 24 hours at Relay for Life of Delta Junction?

789 registered walkers stayed on the track for 28 different teams and raised more than $68,000. Not all the donations are in yet - Relay can still meet the $70,000 goal! 38 sponsors supported our teams and more than 1200 incredible luminarias were created.
