The sun came out for the 6 p.m. kickoff of the 2013 South Washington County Relay for Life on Friday, June 7.

Hundreds of participants and supporters were at East Ridge High School in Woodbury for the fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

The goal of this year's event is to raise $263,000. More than $2 million has been raised by the local Relay in its history.

This year's honorary survivor was Zach Netten, an East Ridge High School student who addressed the crowd Friday.
