The event is in honor of Rachel Determan, who passed away in 2008 after a two-year battle with leukemia.
"The Determan family is connected to [Yuma Catholic]. They had two children come through and attend and graduate at human Catholic and they it's just a good fit, and we love them. We're happy to have been able to remember Rachel through this event each year," said Haley Curry, the event lead.
