It wasn’t enough for Relay for Life supporters to reach their goal of $46,000; they had to keep going.

As of Friday, the local drive has gathered $54,400, according to Rhonda Gardenheir, event chair. Fundraising will continue through Aug. 31 and the amount is expected to grow.

The goal was reached and exceeded through the fundraising efforts of 14 “very busy Relay teams and our community supporters. Six of those 14 teams were brand new to Relay for Life,” Gardenheir said.
