Relay For Life of Penn State was held this past weekend at Medlar Field. Participants worked all year to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Throughout the 24-hour event, students walked around the track of Medlar Field throughout a cold, windy night and the event concluded on Sunday afternoon. Penn State’s Relay For Life raised a total of $111,790.33! Penn State student Kelly Brown walked during the event to honor her friend Kayla, who was diagnosed with cancer this past year.
