Lexington County School District 3 raised over $10,000 for Relay for Life this spring.

The Relay for Life event was held in conjunction with Saluda Friday, Apr. 26 at Leesville College Park.

Each school’s fundraising activities were led by a Relay for Life team captain.

District 3 appreciates the following individuals for leading their school’s efforts: Dee Stewart (B-L Primary School), Marriet Tollison (B-L Elementary School), Missy O’Dell (B-L Middle School), and School Resource Officer Debra Miller (B-L High School).

The district’s Relay for Life team captains worked with staff members and administrators at each school to coordinate a variety of fundraising activities to include popcorn sales, a corn hole tournament, special t-shirt sales, a kickball tournament, jeans days for teachers, and Panther decal sales.

All of the proceeds that were fundraised will be donated to the American Cancer Society to help thousands of people across the globe with breakthrough research, patient care programs, and education and prevention initiatives.
