The rain has cleared, and our total is in...

The Pill Pushers had a GREAT time with Relay this year! All of this couldn't have been done without our fearless leader, Rachel Lebovic, the amazing Relay Planning Committee, and all the people who came out to Palmer field for the event.

The Pill Pushers surpassed their goal - raising a total of $15,929.55!! Overall, MRelay also surpassed its fundraising goal - collecting over $365,000 in donations! The rain definitely did not stop this amazing event.

Now that 2012 Relay has come to a close, we can take a quick breather before starting again for next year. Thank you to everyone who supported our quest to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Hope to see you again in 2013!

12 Hour Update!

The jail has its midnight run in full effect. We've raised over $1000 in 12 hours, amazing! People have taken on new tricks to make their money - taking singing requests and dance offs!

Some of our late night inmates working hard for their bail.



Today's the Day! Relay is HERE!

Even with our rainy start, relay for life is going full steam ahead. The jail is pretty full, and people are trying to make their bail.




Its 4pm, and we've made over $400 from Jail 'n Bail! People love helping us orchestrate arresting their friends and handcuffing them on site. Even Dr. Beleh put his own daughter in jail!

As of 7:30pm, the Jail has helped the Pill Pushers raise over $700 on site! We are REALLY close to our $15,000 goal!! We've had quite the cast of inmates so far; including a man in a dress, and a man who had a pie thrown in his face after he was handcuffed. Everyone at Relay has had a great time so far, and people seem to look up in panic when they hear a siren go off... maybe they're next?
