HAMPTON, IA – 01/28/2020 Participants and volunteers of the Relay For Life of Franklin County received an American Cancer Society (ACS) Spirit of Relay Award, an honor in recognition of those who have gone above and beyond to help the American Cancer Society lead the fight for a world without cancer through the Relay For Life movement.
