LUMBERTON — A party-like atmosphere had cancer patients, survivors and caregivers moving during the annual Relay For Life event staged at the Robeson County Fairgrounds Friday night.

Going into the evening hours, the organization reported that it had brought in more than half of its $40,000 goal with more donations raised Friday night still to be counted.

Fundraising will continue through September.
