Thank You, Relayers

Thank you to everyone who joined the Alumni & Friends and the entire #teamChabot crew on Saturday, August 3 to support Relay for Life East Bay at Chabot College. From Zumba and an energy-packed step class, to walking the track and watching top-notch dance performances, we had a blast supporting Relay for Life 2024. Together, Chabot teams raised over $4,700 for the American Cancer Society.


A special thank you to all the Chabot Teams (Alpha Gamma Sigma Honor Society; Power of Us; Student Senate; Alumni, Classified Senate, & Friends) and Chabot's President's Office for supporting this event.
