The 2024 Relay for Life Survivor Dinner was held at St. Matthew Catholic Church on Thursday, March 14.

Each year, Relay for Life offers family-friendly evenings like the Survivors Dinner to recognize and honor those currently on cancer journeys and survivors from bouts of cancer to remember those who lost the battle and to raise money to support the research and supportive efforts of the American Cancer Society.
