WEST WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — Thousands of people visited the West Warwick High School for the Central Rhode Island Relay for Life Saturday.
“Carnival for a Cure” features a day of games, music, and fundraising to help the American Cancer Society make a global impact on cancer.

Twenty-two teams are participating this year with a goal of raising $65,000.
