A record setting day at Relay for Life in Fort Frances.

More than twenty-teams combined to raised over $81-thousand, topping last year's high of $70-thousand.

Nearly 870 luminaries also dotted the track at Fort Frances High School, another event high.

Chair Jenn Anderson credits the teams for their work, many holding fundraising events well advance of the Relay.

Three teams raised over five-thousand dollars with one reaching the eight-thousand dollar mark.

A portion of the money is being earmarked toward the Riverside Foundation for Health Care's campaign for new digital mammography unit.
