Hundreds flocked to Wilson Park in downtown Milan this weekend for the annual Relay for Life, which surpassed its goal of raising $35,000 for the American Cancer Society by bringing in donations totaling $38,908. Relay for Life occurs in countless cities across the country and is the biggest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, the nations leader in cancer research. In addition to providing research toward a cure, the American Cancer Society provides services for those stricken with cancer and those who care for them. Services include driving patients who have no transportation to treatment and helping family members with questions or concerns they may have about the disease. Relay for Life returned to Wilson Park in Milan after a couple years at another site. Its nice to be back, said event organizer Caryn Lorentz. While many Relay for Life fundraisers are held at school tracks, the setting of Wilson Park allowed for a little more space and helped facilitate some special events. Before the event kicked off 9 a.m. Saturday, Lorentz said 19 teams had raised more than $25,000. The rest of the money was raised throughout the course of the day at team fundraising events, including a silent auction, chicken dinner and what appeared to be one of the surprise hits of the day limo rides. It has been hugely successful, Lorentz said at about 7 p.m. Saturday. Its really cool. Weve never seen that before. The limo rides were courtesy of Doug Kreager and his daughter, Kacie. Kreager drives for Ann Arbor Yellow Cab, which is owned by a company that also operates Ann Arbor Limousine. It has been going great, Kreager said. Ive been doing this since 11 (a.m.) and Ive probably had 15 minutes of spare time. Riders paid $2 per person for a short ride around town and could pay $10 for a longer drive. People seem to really be enjoying it, especially for the kids who are getting their first ride in a limo. But while Relay for Life
