Key Club has held many fundraisers in support of Relay for Life, such as T-shirt sales, a local Wendyai??i??s Night, a dress down day, and delicious chocolate-covered strawberry sales! There are currently 12 team members.

I love when people can work together for such an amazing cause. People forget to realize that anything they put into such a cause makes a bigger difference than they realize. And when people work together, the possibilities are endless.

I went to Relay for Life last year and it was such an amazing experience. So many people gathered together for such a good cause but it was also very fun. I didn’t want it to end.
