Many organizations help with the event that honors survivors, remembers those who passed on, and provides money for cancer research and education.
ONU's annual Relay for Life begins with a walk honoring cancer survivors. The survivors were encouraged on with applause as they circled the track at the beginning of the night/morning event which included events every hour from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m.
