This is the team's third bar crawl, but their first that falls outside of the normal Relay for Life fundraising season. Stegner explained that Team Dearborn–comprised of around three dozen members, plus drop-in members–is very dedicated to the cause of raising funds for cancer research.
"Our team is pretty motivated," she said, "so we decided to do more fundraising to raise awareness more than just in April and May."
A $15 donation will get participants a wristband, which gives them access to food and drink specials at all five bars.
