Relay For Life is a community-based event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for the American Cancer Society. On the day of the event, teams of people gather at school or community football fields, fairgrounds or parks and take turns walking, jogging or running laps. Each team is asked to keep at least one person from their team on the track at all times.

This was Fenton's first year in participating in the event. So far the Fenton team has raised $1,596.
