Relay for Life officials are looking for a Churubusco resident to help coordinate local efforts for this year’s event June 6 and June 7.
Last year’s RFL raised over $60,000 for the American Cancer Society. A total of 31 teams participated and this year’s RFL chairperson, Jade Pfeiffer, wants to increase those numbers to 40 teams who raise $65,000 during this year’s event.
“We would like to throw down the gauntlet to Churubusco to see if they can increase the number of teams from your community,” Pfeiffer said. “There was just one team from Churubusco last year, which we appreciated very much, but we’d like to see more.”
