Cold, wet weather cuts Relay for Life event short
050313 RELAY FOR LIFE 02
Participants in Friday's Relay for Life event at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds make their way past colorful-but-soggy luminaries.
Organizers called an early end to the 20th Annual Bulloch County Relay for Life event Friday night, but fundraising won’t end for several more months. Wet, chilly weather put a damper on the overnight fund raising celebration, but participants still raised $7,000 that night, event community manager Robin Peeples said. Added to the approximate $85,000 previously collected by Bulloch County teams to help fund cancer research and increase awareness of the disease, the amount is close to $92,000.
