Earlville Relay For Life Results

The relay for life in Streator wasn’t the only American Cancer Society relay happening this year in La Salle County.

The first annual Upper Illinois Valley Relay for Life happened this past Saturday at Maple Leaf Park in Earlville.  Fourteen teams with a total of 81 people helped raise money for the American Cancer Society.  They ended up raising over 15 thousand dollars.

Jenna Hague with the American Cancer Society says people in northern La Salle County weren’t making the trip to Streator so they came up with the Upper Illinois Valley Relay.  She says they plan on bringing it back next year.
