MBE Lancers fight cancer

Out of 92 teams at Mountain Brook Relay for Life, MBE Lancers Fight Cancer finished fourth, raising $4,838.50 toward the cause with bake sales, lemonade stands and donations. The team also had a water/popsicle booth at the Relay for Life event.

Team members ranged from kindergarten through sixth-grade students and included many teachers. Nobles of the Lancer League, whose purpose is to identify and partner with community projects, created the idea for the team. The Nobles’ latest project was a book drive where more 1,000 books were collected to benefit Better Basics’ literacy intervention programs for children in high-needs schools through Birmingham Reads.
