Relay for Life is hitting the SMU campus again this Friday. Students and supporters will walk from 4 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Saturday to raise money and awareness for curing cancer.

The Boulevard will be lined with glowing bags, filled with music and loaded with various organizations selling food to keep walkers up the whole night.

Various events have been going on through the week to contribute to the cause. Last Friday night an organic contribution occurred as Villa-O hosted “Good Friday for a Good Cause,” with 15 percent of all proceeds reserved for Relay. On Monday night, Pluckers donated 20 percent of their proceeds from 7 to 10 p.m. when customers said they were with Relay for Life.

Wednesday evening was bank night, during which all the organizations brought their donations. However, fundraising will continue through the actual night of Relay, as organizations not only walk around the Boulevard but also sell food or goods to raise a few more dollars for curing cancer. If students have missed out on contributing to teams before bank night, the evening of relay is another chance to donate.

While upperclassmen will recognize Relay for Life as an annual event for SMU’s campus, the national organization is under the American Cancer Society. Relay goes through various parts of the country throughout the spring and summer.
