Relay for Life Kickoff at Westland City Hall

This was a community kickoff event held by the City of Westland on March 4, 2026, to launch the Relay for Life fundraising campaign supporting the American Cancer Society. The meeting featured a presentation by Dr. Dominic Aad from the University of Michigan, who discussed his cancer research focused on pancreatic cancer and the role of the microbiome in treatment resistance. The event also recognized top fundraisers and teams from the previous year, announced sponsorships, and highlighted upcoming fundraising activities. While the meeting centered on community engagement and fundraising efforts for cancer research, no specific procurement, contracting, or budget allocation decisions were discussed.
