Relay for Life 2023: FHS Rises Together Once More In The Fight Against Cancer
Relay for Life is a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. All money raised goes to research, detection, prevention, education, and patient support. This is an FHS student-led event on Friday, May 5, 2023, starting at 5:30 PM and ending at 10:30 PM, at Franklin High School. Watch this website for a final schedule of when events take place.
Anyone can participate in this event ranging from students, staff, and the community. Everyone and anyone is welcome. Relay for Life especially invites and encourages cancer survivors and caregivers to participate so they may honor and celebrate you. There will be water and baked goods available for a small donation to ACS.
Relay for Life encourages you to donate to this cause if you can for the American Cancer Society. You can do that through your own personal donation, asking friends and family to donate, or purchasing raffle tickets or other items on the day of the event.
There have been 7 established teams that have raised an estimated amount of $7,621.12 (April 21). If you sign up through the ACS website with FHS while raising $100 or more, you will receive a 2023 T-Shirt. The goal of this event is to raise $20,000 or more in donations.
This year’s theme is Give Cancer the Boot! Many activities will be present for all ages and planned around the theme. There will be activity stations with games, coloring, a photo booth, and much more.
If you are not able to make it to this event, there are other opportunities to be involved or donate. This weekend, April 22 and April 23, Kendra Scott in Brookfield, will donate a portion of all sales to the FHS Relay for Life!
