On the 10th of April 2015, Adelphi University organized the 4th Annual Relay For Life. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone who was present, that this was a night to remember. The event ran from 5 pm on the 10th to 5 am on the 11th, covering an array of events; from hair donations, to doing kick boxing and Zumba at 4 am. The most memorable, emotional and beautiful part of the entire event, was the luminaria ceremony organized to honor and remember everyone who's fighting the battle, and those who lost the battle.The luminaria ceremony showed every relayer that beneath all of our hope, there was a cure. A cure for the disease. A cure of love.
At 4.30pm, the committee along with all registered teams had raised approximately $60,000. By the end of the event, at 5am, the committee chairs along with our coordinator Chris Tellarico, revealed the final total. Adelphi University's Relay For Life 2015 raised a total of $75, 095.61; being the highest total we have raised since the start of RFL at Adelphi.
Seeing the entire community come together, towards the same cause was such a beautiful sight. Congratulations to the RFL 2015 committee and a great big wave of gratitude and thanks towards every single person who attended Relay. Let's win the battle.
