It may take a wombat and Tasmanian devil, but ONU students do what is necessary to raise money for cancer research.

The Campus Relay for Life had a goal of $18,000 to raise between 6 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday during a walk inside the Sports Center.

Student organizations set up tables around the running track. The theme this year was foreign countries. Pictured at the Australian table are (from left) Amber Lilly, Shelby Barga as kangaroo, and Kelly Beazel, members of Kappa Psi pharmacy fraternity.

The evening began with a walk by cancer survivors who live in the community or are associated with Ohio Northern. Entertainment was on tap throughout the 8-hour fundraiser.
