Hundreds of community members from Turlock and Hilmar made their way to the Dutcher Middle School track on Saturday for Relay for Life, raising funds and awareness for cancer research in Turlock’s 20th year hosting the event. A total of 28 teams came together to raise just over $78,000 through months of hard work and fundraising, and Turlock High School’s team led the pack by raising $17,318. Hilmar Cheese and Century 21 M&M rounded out the top three fundraising teams, collecting $15,366 and $11,678, respectively.
