Relay For Life Event

People across our region helped fight cancer this weekend by raising more than $300,000 for the American Cancer Society.

The money was raised at three Relay For Life events in Kennewick, Walla Walla and Yakima.

Relay For Life is an overnight walk-a-thon, where teams of people donate money to walk non-stop for more than 12 hours.

The three events raised a total of $339,000.
