Relay for Life of Southold held its annual event in Jean Cochran Park in Peconic on Saturday. 

The event raises money for cancer research and honors both survivors and those who have been lost to the disease.

After the opening ceremony and a performance by North Fork Cheer, survivors walked the track together. Additional events included a luncheon, auctions, and musical performances.
