VIDEO: Malverne Relay Unites Community in Cancer Fight

Local residents participate in the annual charity event.

Local do-gooders converged upon Friday night to participate in the first-ever Malverne Relay For Life, a fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society.

Participants amassed pledge money and walked laps starting at 7 p.m. in a show of support and to help in the effort to wipe out cancer.

Despite on and off rain throughout entire day, the Relay for Life was still a huge success, surpassing its fundraising goal.
