Relay for Life Celebrates Cancer Survivors

More than $90,000 is raised for American Cancer Society.

Hundreds packed West Orange High School's gym Friday night to Relay for Life, honoring those that survived cancer and remembering lost loved ones. The event, originally scheduled to take place on the field, was moved indoors after thunderstorms swept through the area. 

"Because a survivor can't stop when the going gets rough, nor do we cancel Relay when the weather is bad," said David Greulich, one of the organizers of the event. 

Friends, families, neighbors, classmates and sports teams gathered to walk around the gym as a way to fight back against the disease. More than $90,000 was raised and more than 60 teams walked.
