Saturday Relay for Life Schedule of Events

Mission Viejo's Relay for Life is set to break records this year for participation and fundraising, Event Chair Margot Ferron said.

The cancer-fighting, 24-hour marathon at Saddleback College (28000 Marguerite Pkwy.) is still accepting participants and donors.

Mission Viejo Patch has joined several others in sponsoring the event, which has already drawn over $100,000 in donations.
