The University of Oklahoma will host a walk for cancer around the South Oval on April 21.
Relay for Life is an overnight relay event that raises money for the American Cancer Society. Participants camp out around the track and each member of a team takes turns walking or running around the track. This year’s event will be hosting a number of activities such as: Zumba, live bands, DJ’s, video games, water pong, Ms. Relay and the Luminary Ceremony.
Last year, Relay for Life raised over $90,000 in one night. This year the Relay for Life board is hoping to raise $100,000. Audrey Leeder, the Chair of Greek Recruitment for Relay for Life, said there will be a Greek competition leading up to Relay and the house that raises the most money will receive a prize
“We are going to bring more food and more activities to make the event more fun. Hopefully, that will help us raise more money,” Leeder said.
Relay for Life begins at 7 p.m. on April 21 and ends at 7 a.m. on April 22. For more information about Relay for Life and how to get involved go to http://www.relayforlife.org/
