NASHVILLE, TN (WTVF) — Vanderbilt is holding one of the largest on-campus fundraising events for the American Cancer Society on Sunday.
The Relay for Life event raises money for cancer patients, patient support groups, Nashville-based cancer research, and more.
It will be at Alumni Lawn on campus from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be guest speakers, food, and games. They will also honor people impacted by cancer with a survivors' breakfast and special laps around the track for those who passed away.
So far the organization has already raised more than $55,000 and is on track to reach its $60,000 goal. You can find more information here on their website.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
