According to organizers of the Ladera Relay for Life, an organized externsion of the American Cancer Society, the group raised 400% more than the previous year and was able to rally contributions from Ladera Ranch residents with support from Mrs. California 2011, Jennifer Glava and Disney Channel star Roshan Fegan of "Shake it up!" fame.  

The event was held at Stoneybrooke school at the intersection of O'Neill and Sienna in south Ladera Ranch (there are two O'Neill/Sienna intersections), where dozens of families camped out and walked mile after pledged mile in order to raise funds for cancer research.  

The event featured most prominently, a "survivor's lap", where cancer survivors walked around a track laid out around the grounds at Stoneybrooke in celebration of their victory over cancer.  The aim of the event is to have more survivors through increased research and results.
