Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay for Life movement, sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

This year’s theme for the May 21, Greater St. Clair County, Ala.-based event was board games, and team Jones Stephens transformed into a herd of Hungry Hungry Hippos in keeping with the spirit of the day. The employees organized fund-raisers and planned activities for weeks, exceeding their goal, which contributed to the $40,000 raised for the annual event.
