Bay Area Relay for Life Survives Storms and Raises Funds
Volunteers and relay teams cleaned up after flooding while survivors walked despite rain. Luminaria sales brought in $40,000 as organizers plan prizes and post event plans. Bay Area Relay for Life in Texas remains the largest ACS fundraiser locally, tracing its origin to Gordy Klatt’s 1985 Tacoma walk.
