2015 Yellowstone County Relay For Life Was a Huge Success! [Pictures]

After an anticipated thunderstorm hit the Billings West High track on Friday afternoon about 4:45 p.m., final Relay For Life set-up was put on hold.  

Billings once again came through for a fantastic Relay for Life July 10th!   After the storm hit at the end of my 5 p.m. live broadcast and tore up a bunch of stuff, the event was up and put back together within an hour and 1,000's showed up at 7pm for a great event!  The storm cleared the skies for the 15 minute fireworks display Friday night!

Businesses, individuals and nearly 200 teams helped raise $596,000 for this year's relay!  Co-chair, Robin Hanel said that there were about 8,000 luminaria sold.

Fundraising continues through August and I am confident that we will go beyond our goal of $600,000. -Co-chair, Robin Hanel
