WATERTOWN, March 29, 2013— 2013 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Watertown/Waltham Relay for Life event in support of the American Cancer Society (ACS).  The Watertown Savings Bank (WSB) Relay team is looking to make this a memorable year. 

“We are excited about our team and what we will achieve with our fundraising this year,” said WSB team co-captain Lisa Nichols. 

The WSB team is the top fundraising team from Watertown/Waltham, and one of the most successful fundraising teams in New England.  One of the major reasons for this success is their annual gala fundraiser.  Last year this event raised $14,000.
