The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Diamond Bar was held Saturday and Sunday, June 8&9, at Lorbeer Middle School at 501 Diamond Bar Blvd. This is the second year the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff's Station has participated with a team. The community event began with an opening ceremony at 9 a.m. Saturday to celebrate the lives of those who have battled Cancer, our survivor's.
A survivor's lap followed at 9:30 a.m. with Cancer survivors taking the first lap around the track to kick off the Relay. Team's then continually walk for the next 24 hours. A luminaria ceremony was held at 9 p.m. to remember people who have lost their battles to Cancer.
A Fight Back Ceremony concluded the event Sunday morning at 9 a.m. 16 teams, with over 200 participants, have raised more than $25,000 for research and patient services such as Road to Recovery, Hope Lodge and others.
