Syracuse's Relay For Life

Every year Syracuse University hosts a Relay for Life event during the spring. If you don't know what Relay for Life is you can check out their website here, but cliff notes version is it's a charity event to help the American Cancer Society.

Different organizations across Syracuse University form teams of up to 15 people to raise money. Each team gets to camp out on the Dome turf for the night as one person must continue walking around the perimeter of the track during the entire event, some of which is during the night. Teams can win awards for best campsite, most spirit, and best banner.

Teams also raise money during the event through their own fundraisers. Otto's Army, the student section group raised money by pieing members of the group in the face.
I am an active member of Otto's Army and we have formed another team this year. The University wants to raise $300,000 as a whole. Otto's Army wants to raise at least $5,000.
Last year we raised almost $3400, third most for any group in the University.


If you want to help us attain our goal you can donate in the name of Otto's Army here.
