G Gathering Chesapeake supports Relay for Life

Chesapeake supports Relay for Life



The American Cancer Society held its Annual Relay for Life event at Chesapeake City Park. Relay for Life brings together people to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and give strength to those fighting this horrible disease. Teams sold food, crafts and painted faces. Participants raised over $600,000 to help fight cancer.
