Relay for Life raises $98K to fight cancer
Relay for Life Brooklyn held its 24th annual fundraising walk at the Parkville Youth Organization ballfield June 11.
The event, which raised $98,000 for the American Cancer Society, included music by the Dyker Singers, awards, games, yoga and magic. Mia Espinosa sang as the survivors took their first lap of the walk.
Lead organizer Elaine Delaney called out the names of cancer survivors and the number of years since each was diagnosed. Each survivor received a medal and sash and caregivers received sashes.
