The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Gwinnett County remained the top-grossing Relay event in the world for the 10th straight year.

The Gwinnett Relay finished with a total of $2,087,991, about $12,000 more than the second-place Bakersfield, Calif., Relay.

The Relay event in Gwinnett takes place every May at the Gwinnett Fairgrounds, where teams from all over the community walk around the track all night to raise awareness and money for cancer research.
