From February 10 at 12:01 a.m. CST through February 12 at 11:59 p.m. CST, campuses nationwide came together for 72 hours of impact during the annual Fund The Mission Challenge—a national fundraising effort where high school and college Relay For Life communities unite to support ACS’s mission.
This year, we are thrilled to share that together, we raised $183,180.65 in support of the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
All donations—including online, offline, and registration fees—counted toward campus totals, and participants could join the challenge from anywhere.
