NASHVILLE, TN (WTVF) — Vanderbilt is holding one of the largest on-campus fundraising events for the American Cancer Society on Sunday.
The Relay for Life event raises money for cancer patients, patient support groups, Nashville-based cancer research, and more.
It will be at Alumni Lawn on campus from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be guest speakers, food, and games. They will also honor people impacted by cancer with a survivors' breakfast and special laps around the track for those who passed away.
So far the organization has already raised more than $55,000 and is on track to reach its $60,000 goal. You can find more information here on their website.

Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
