Wayne-Sanderson Farms Raises Record $137,000 for the American Cancer Society

DECATUR, AL (October 15, 2025) – With a legacy of giving that now exceeds $1.8 million, Wayne-Sanderson Farms’ 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’s Relay for Life of Morgan County and related patient-service programs in Alabama. The record-breaking total represents the Complex’s largest annual contribution to date and reflects its enduring commitment to assisting those affected by cancer.

“Partnering with the American Cancer Society is something our team takes great pride in,” said Monica Rangel, Senior Administrative Assistant, who leads the Decatur Prepared Foods Complex’s Relay for Life fundraising efforts. “We host employee fundraisers nearly every month, including raffles, T-shirt sales and concession food items.”

As one of the American Cancer Society’s recognized “Legacy Teams,” 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.

“The Wayne-Sanderson Farms team exemplifies what it means to be fully committed to the fight against cancer,” said Cherry Hammonds, Senior Development Manager for the South Region of the American Cancer Society. “Their 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.”
