This year has been Berks Eye Physicians and Surgeons 3rd year participating in Relay For Life of Western Berks. We participate because we know we are making a difference in the fight to end cancer by raising funds and cancer awareness.   Our event was Friday, June 17, 2016 at Wilson West High school. It is a 24 hour event to signify the struggle of a Cancer patient. Our team consisted of 18 team members and has raised a total of $7801.43 so far. Berks Eye sponsors Relay For Life in support of our employees that have fought and/or continue to fight Cancer. Many of our staff Relay in support or memory of family/friends touched by this terrible disease. We will continue to fundraise until September 1, 2016. After that, a new Relay year starts!
