Relay for Life Recap

It was a great evening on Friday, April 4th, as the Lake Forest College community gathered together to celebrate life, and raise funds to fight cancer. In partnership with the American Cancer Society, the Forester community raised over $41,000 to fight cancer. Of that amount, the Forester Football team, and their supporters raised $11,385 to fight cancer.

See the time-lapse video for Relay below:



"It was inspiring to see our players rise to the occasion. Though there were some big gifts, it was more of people all "chipping" in. This is a very meaningful event for the Forester family, and it is one that I am proud our guys rally around," said Head Football Coach Jim Catanzaro.

Members of the Forester football team continued to walk throughout the evening, and several Foresters were "up all night" in support of the evenings programming.

Life is like an ember, flickering as if it could die out any moment, but also resilient, refusing to disappear.
