     Franklin County has a population of just over 10,000, according to the 2010 census. Some would say it’s a tight knit county, in which no matter what town one lives in, there are no strangers. It could be said that this tight-knit group of Iowans can ban together to support one another in their times of need.
     For the second straight year, this fact has been proven.
     In 2016, Franklin County Relay For Life raised $79,859.88, placing themselves in the top 10, at number seven, for counties with populations between 10,000-14,999. Per capita, that’s $7.42. Compared to the Midwest Division of Relay For Life, consisting of South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, the average per capita donation was $1.27.
     Last year, FC Relay for Life raise a total of $85,895.47, with a per capita donation of approximately $7.92, earning themselves the sixth place in the top ten list.
