"The community comes out for this event and teams raise money throughout the entire year," Watts said. "This is a culmination activity to help hopefully reach the goal each year for the Riverbend."
The Riverbend Relay for Life was held from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday at Alton Public School Stadium. The event was moved from the Amphitheater to Alton Public School Stadium because of the flood conditions in Downtown Alton.
There was a 5K at Public School Stadium to benefit the American Cancer Society.
