Relay for Life By far one of the longest Key Club events (20 hours total!), Relay for Life allows Key Clubbers to have fun and socialize, accumulate volunteer hours, and fundraise money to support cancer care and research programs. A part of the American Cancer Society, Relay has been happening for 28 years and has raised millions of dollars in funds. In addition to funding cancer-related programs, the ACS also has a goal of uniting people through events and
programs like these by raising awareness of cancer and putting in a community effort. Key Clubbers fundraised in teams to attend this event, and those who fundraised $100 were able to stay overnight on the Whitman Middle School field. “It was fun!” says Yasemin Lopez. In addition to bonding with fellow club members, attendees were able to celebrate the cancer survivors in our community and honor their accomplishments.

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR Dear Key Clubbers, Welcome to one of the last issues of the bulletin for the school year—and for you seniors, the last issue. I’ve definitely enjoyed being your bulletin editor these couple of months, and I’m thankful for those who have helped me out in creating the various issues. Keep in mind that Garfield is hosting the next DCM on June 22nd; it’ll be a great way to connect with fellow students once school is out for summer break. Key Club is active throughout the entire calendar year, so expect events and fundraisers to occur over the summer, and make some room in your schedule to attend! -Reanne Wong
