A group of Skyline College students and staff joined forces last weekend at the San Bruno Relay for Life. The Relay is a 24 hour walk held in cities around the world to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. The events are designed to “celebrate, remember, and fight back” against cancer. The San Bruno event was a memorable success, raising over $77,000 thus far. The Skyline College “Boo and the Biohazards” team, co-captained by retired staff member Pat Carter and student Christian Galang, have raised over $2,100! They also won the event award for the “Best Campsite.” The fundraising continues through the summer, and team members would be happy to accept any donation. There is a donation box set up in the Science/Math/Technology office, and if you’d like to learn more about the Relay for Life you can contact Alana Utsumi at utsumia@smccd.edu.
