Time To Get Involved

Teams are still being sought for this year’s Oakdale-Escalon-Riverbank-Waterford Relay For Life. The event will be hosted Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6 at the Oakdale High School soccer fields, bringing together teams from the communities for one centralized 24-hour American Cancer Society fundraising event. Teams are already hosting fundraisers and special activities as they raise money prior to the event; look for information about those activities in this regularly scheduled ‘Relay Corner’ in preparation for May 5 and 6 Relay.
