Greater Escambia Relay Raises Money For A Cure (With Gallery)
May 1, 2016
The annual Relay for Life of Greater Escambia was held Saturday the Pensacola Fairgrounds.
The event began with a special lap around the track for survivors and caregivers, and the evening included a Luminaria Ceremony to to remember people lost to cancer, to support people who are currently battling the disease, and to honor those who have won their battle.

There were 44 registered teams that had raised just over $64,000 for the American Cancer Society before the event. The Relay for Life of Greater Escambia, formerly held at Tate High School, has raised well over a half million dollars for cancer research.

As Event Lead of RFLGE 2016, I thank the communities of Beulah, Cantonment, and Pensacola for supporting the event through teams, sponsorships, door prizes, and attendees.
Three high schools were represented by the best group of teenagers , who helped, fundraised, and enjoyed. They are: West Florida Tech. SGA, Tate: JROTC, FAB, NTHS, Pine Forest: EMS (Eagles Making Strides).I wish everyone could have been around these kids: polite, full of life, the best of the best!
The top fundraising team is Ashland’s Army with over $13,000.00.
Proudly the Spirit of Relay Award was given to the North West Florida Modelers of Fritz Field. Their remote aircraft were sensational.
How wonderful. Great job to all.
