Over $16,000 already banked Already, the Relay is proving successful this year. "We've already banked over $16,000," Angela Dean said, "but of course that will be much more when we have Bank Day on May 25th," she said. Bank day is the official day for all the organizations to turn in their money. Ms. Dean said that she is thrilled by the effort this year. "It's so innovative," she said. "people are holding bake sales, writing and selling books, having all sorts of dinners. Or just standing out in the road and taking up money." "We do a lot of work," she said, "but we have a lot of fun doing it." Volunteers are still invited to create a team or just find one to join. "If anybody needs to get on a Relay for Life team," she said, "They should just give us a call. We'll find them a team." Money goes to find cancer cure. "We'll do it. I'm confident of it," Angela Dean says The money raised all goes to the the American Cancer Society to find cures for cancer. Angela Dean is confident it will be successful, "We will find a cure. I'm confident of it." She says that already she sees cancer survivors who have had the same cancer which claimed the life of her father, Ernest Shirley. "There are new drugs and new therapies around today which weren't available 16 years ago," she said. "They would have made all the difference for my Dad." Ms. Dean said that one of the most emotional events, one that makes everybody proud, is the final one when the cancer survivors take their the Survivors' Walk around the Track at Booster Field at Adair County High School. "There's not a dry eye in the crowd," Tonya Karnes, said. "It is a proud moment," she said. "It's hard to hold back the tears of joy when you see what these courageous people have done, and when you see what good is coming of efforts like the Relay for Life." Added events are being announced regularly. Ms. Dean and Tonya Karnes want to bring these fund-raising efforts to everyone's attention:
