Now into its fourth year, the Essendon Football Club / Cancer Council Victoria partnership has helped raise in excess of $1 million for cancer research.

The $1 million mark was passed during the recent Moonee Valley Relay For Life, which has been held at Windy Hill for the past three years. The 2009 Relay was also the largest in the history of the event, with 52 teams across the community participating.

Partnership events include Call to Arms, Moonee Valley Relay for Life and Clash for Cancer.
