Goal is $35,000 for Winston County’s Relay for Life
With just a few days left before Winston County’s Relay for Life event, there’s still time to help teams make their goal of $35,000 for The American Cancer Society.
“Last year we raised $ 31,763 and as of this date we are behind by about $5,000 from the same time last year,” said Laura McKee, Relay for Life specialist for the Mid-South Division of the American Cancer Society. “Hopefully, we will make that up on Bank night and the night of the event.
