DECATUR, AL (October 15, 2025) <\/b>\u2013 With a legacy of giving that now exceeds $1.8 million, Wayne-Sanderson Farms\u2019<\/a> Decatur Prepared Foods Complex continued its long-standing support of the American Cancer Society (ACS) in 2025, raising more than $137,000 through employee-driven fundraising efforts for the organization\u2019s Relay for Life of Morgan County and related patient-service programs in Alabama. The record-breaking total represents the Complex\u2019s largest annual contribution to date and reflects its enduring commitment to assisting those affected by cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with the American Cancer Society is something our team takes great pride in,\u201d said Monica Rangel, Senior Administrative Assistant, who leads the Decatur Prepared Foods Complex\u2019s Relay for Life fundraising efforts. \u201cWe host employee fundraisers nearly every month, including raffles, T-shirt sales and concession food items.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of the American Cancer Society\u2019s recognized \u201cLegacy Teams,\u201d the Decatur Prepared Foods Complex has surpassed the $1 million lifetime fundraising milestone, a distinction honoring organizations whose sustained generosity and volunteer leadership have made a lasting impact on cancer research and care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wayne-Sanderson Farms team exemplifies what it means to be fully committed to the fight against cancer,\u201d said Cherry Hammonds, Senior Development Manager for the South Region of the American Cancer Society. \u201cTheir energy, creativity and teamwork not only raise funds that advance vital research but also extend into volunteer service at quarterly survivor events and other ACS community initiatives. It is a privilege to work alongside such a passionate and high-performing group.\u201d<\/p>\n
