A staple of the Relay For Life of Escalon, the team with co-captains and sisters Lizzi and Tina Langum will be back for 2016. The team has gone through a few different names and this year, is known as ‘Jim and Dana’s Crusaders,’ named in honor of Trinity Church pastor Jim Davis – currently undergoing cancer treatment – and in memory of the late Dana Pereira, who lost her battle with the disease. Lizzi said they attend Trinity Church and have known Pastor Jim for years and also were friends with Dana and worked with her through 4-H. “During Relay we will be having a bake sale, we will be selling tri-tip sandwiches toward dinner time and we also will be having raffles,” Lizzi said of offering up several opportunity drawings with a wide range of items available.
