Stanberry Insurance will team up with O’Malley’s Pub and Grill for a Relay for Life Fundraiser on Tuesday, May 4. A percentage of profits from food and beverage sales for the day will benefit Relay for Life.

“We are incredibly appreciative of the amount of support we have received from the community and we hope everyone can join us at O’Malley’s to enjoy good food, good friends, and a worthy cause!” said Amy Reams, Personal Lines Agent at Stanberry Insurance Agency.

Relay For Life is a fun-filled, overnight event that mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones, commit to fight back through healthy lifestyle changes, and raise money for the fight against cancer.

“The funds raised through our Relay For Life events enable us to continue our investment in the fight against cancer through research, education, advocacy and patient services,” added Linda Proctor, a Stanberry employee and cancer survivor. “Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers and donors, the money raised by Relay For Life participants goes directly to the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving research and programs.”
