Team UHS nears $5,000 in fundraising for the Relay for Life

Some cash is still rolling in, but so far Team UHS has raised almost $5,000 for Relay for Life.

This year's Relay was held on Saturday, June 2, at Sammon Field in Vestal.

Kimberlee Roe, one of the Team UHS organizers, said:  "Thanks to all who participated on our team to support Relay.  The event was very moving - for survivors, fighters, supporters, caregivers and those there to remember a loved one."

Proceeds benefit the work of the American Cancer Society in funding groundbreaking cancer research and patient care programs that make a difference in communities like ours.

Most importantly, the annual event honors those who have battled cancer, as well as survivors, plus their friends and families.

UHS employees participate in a number of benefit walks and runs, including Relay, the Heart Walk, the YMCA Corporate Challenge and the March for Babies.
