"OU raises $43,000 for American Cancer Society"

"With lights dimmed and luminaries lit, participants in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life walked the track at Oakland University's Recreation Center, silently honoring family and friends stricken with the disease. More than 900 participants raised $43,000 for educational programs, cancer research and patient services during the 24-hour fund-raiser, which began Nov. 12 at 4 p.m. and continued until Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. The luminaries were lit at 9 p.m. so participants could walk one time around silently."
