that donations can still be given until Aug. 31.The Relay for
Life activities this year took place in the Lincoln Center on the
Lincoln College campus from 6 p.m. June 15 through 6 a.m. June 16.

honor of loved ones who fought the fight or who are survivors.

Walking For Robin, who collected $7,773. Second were The Boomerangs,
collecting $6,691, and third were the Faith, Hope and Love team,
collecting $6,798. Donna Miles was the top solo collector with
$2,665.
The co-chairs for 2012 were Jeff and Maritta Robinson.
The trio co-chairs for 2013 were announced and celebrated --
Nicole Tripplett, Amy Weidhuner and Tabitha Weidhuner. They quickly
invited everyone who has been a part of the event to continue their
support, and they welcome anyone who has "thought about it" but
never signed up.
