SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2015 Relay For Life of Florence 2015! THANK YOU FLORENCE! On August 8th, the Florence Community came together at Miller Park for Relay For Life 2015. Thank you, Florence, for your hard work. Together we raised over $36,900 for the American Cancer Society and the fi ght against Cancer! We had 16 Teams, and the community of Florence, who made Relay For Life 2015 a very special event. Almost 880 Luminaries lit the track during the night, recognizing those who have courageously battled the disease. This year approximately 60+ survivors participated in the Survivors’ Victory Lap. The 12-hour event could never take place without the generous support of our corporate sponsors, donors, and the support of the people of Florence who gave their energy, their time, and their money. Thank you, Florence! Thank you again and we’ll see you next year, because there is no fi nish line until a cure for cancer is found. www.relayforlife.org/FlorenceOR Relay For Life 2015 Sponsors: Siuslaw News Chad E.
