Bringing together teams from four communities, the combined Oakdale Escalon Riverbank Waterford Relay For Life also raised an estimated $74,000 for the American Cancer Society. The signature fundraising event for ACS, the 2018 Relay For Life was staged on the campus of Oakdale High School, with teams setting up their tents around the soccer fields. Events began with Opening Ceremonies on Saturday morning, May 5 at 9 a.m., featuring some guest speakers, a release of doves and the carrying of a banner by a group of survivors to begin the walking.
