Well over $76,000 has been raised to date through the 2023 Effingham County Relay for Life.

The actual Relay event was held Friday evening at Teutopolis Junior High School, but funds are still coming in. Relay's Ron Mietzner said some teams are yet to turn in the funds they have raised. In addition, Relay's online auction continues through this Wednesday.

This year's Relay goal is $80,000. 

Friday night's event included Cayla's dance team, a pageant, music from the Sentimental Journey Quartet, Survivor Speaker Jodi Waymoth, and Caregiver Speaker Anna Carrell, the reigning Miss Effingham County Fair.

This year's theme was Christmas-oriented, "Ho, Ho, Hoping for a Cure."
