Students organize cancer fundraiser


The Saint Mary’s Colleges Against Cancer student group helped raised $20,000 during the 2010 Relay for Life in April.
 Teams of friends, families and coworkers joined together in a fundraising effort for the American Cancer Society. 
SMU and Winona community team members walked around SMU’s indoor track from dusk to dawn to represent the 24-hour fight against cancer. Activities throughout the night included a silent auction, bingo, games, and a performance by an alumni musical group, Koo Koo Kangaroo. Laurie Haase, Relay for Life team leader, said it was "moving and amazing to see our young people organize and run an event that raised $20,000 for cancer research."
