ALLENDALE, Mich. - Grand Valley State University students and community members in Allendale are coming together to raise money for the American Cancer Society and nearly reached a big goal.
The teams, made up of Greek organizations, campus clubs, athletes and non-affiliate students and various other local groups, have already raised nearly $85,000 of the $100,000 goal set for the university.
GVSU puts on a Relay for Life event every year. It happens at the Fieldhouse on the Allendale campus. Friday, April 5 is no different -- the event will start at 6 p.m. and go on until 6 a.m. Saturday morning.
Relay for Life celebrates survivors and those who have lost their lives to cancer while also raising money for both awareness and further research.
