This sale kicks off the team’s fundraising for the 2025 Relay. It is the 30th year for the OtterTail Relay and the 40th year nationally for relays.   This years’theme is “Year by year we are closer to a cure”

The  Relay will have a change of location this year due to the Perham track being redone.  It will be held at the fairgrounds beginning at 5:30 p.m. with many food stands, food trucks and games including bingo. The luminary lighting will be at dusk.  

Luminaries can be purchased from team members as well as at Farmers and Merchants bank and Magnifi financial in New York Mills.

The money raised  by ACS helped 70 cancer patients from Otter Tail County in 2024 with 1,129 nights of lodging at the ACS Hope Lodges. This is a savings of over $200,000 for patients. Otter Tail County ranked second highest in the state for number of stays at Hope Lodges.

What local Relay for Life members do in the fight does matter. Cancer never squirts and neither will they.
