As part of the 2024 Pat Flynn Spirit of Relay Awards, we are proud to name Catherine Marshall as the 2024 Campus Relayer of the Year. Her exceptional leadership as Executive Director (Event Chair) for Relay For Life of Florida State University (FSU) drove remarkable growth and impact.
In 2024, Catherine led the event to a 20% year-over-year fundraising increase and personally raised $2,629, surpassing her 2023 total. Her innovative strategies included organizing FSU’s Power Hour Fundraising Hour, which brought in over $7,000 in just one hour—a 200% increase in Day of Event donations. She also created a new sponsorship level, securing a $2,000 contribution from Sun Stop, and expanded community engagement to new heights.
Catherine made the ACS mission central to her work, organizing a committee visit to the Jacksonville Hope Lodge and incorporating mission moments into meetings to inspire her team. Her dedication and resilience motivated others to exceed their goals and embrace creative problem-solving.
Congratulations, Catherine, on being named the 2024 Campus Relayer of the Year! Your leadership has inspired the FSU community and beyond.
