East Lake's 2013 Relay for Life Gains Momentum

Throughout the 24-hour period, teams will camp out around the track and take turns walking, jogging or running to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

From 222 registered participants in mid-February to the current number of 289, the Eagles are steadily increasing their contribution.

In just a few short weeks, the students, staff and parents of East Lake High have almost doubled the amount of funds raised, from $3,949.15 on February 14 to $7,489.15 on March 11.

There are a number of ways residents can get involved in taking action in the fight against cancer:

• Join a team
• Create a team
• Donate
• Luminaria donation
