The Oak Forest Relay for Life is giving to children and teens fighting cancer. On Friday, June 21, 2013, 400 people assembled in Oak Forest for the 2013 Annual Relay for Life of Oak Forest. The Relay for Life hosted a toy drive to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (P.O.T.C.F.).
Relay for Life is about celebration, remembrance, and hope. Participants honor cancer survivors, pay tribute to their lives lost to cancer and raise money to help fight this dreadful disease.
