MANNING, SC (WACH) - The Celebration of Life Gala celebrated its second year Saturday evening.

Two members of the WACH FOX team went to their old stomping grounds to take part in the event for a good cause.

Drew Stewart, a brain cancer survivor, was the Keynote speaker at the Clarendon Celebration for Life Gala.

Giving the introduction was Good Day Columbia's own Jeffrey Lampkin, whose cousin Craig King was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1999.

Since then King has dedicated his life to fighting cancer. King and his mother, Paulette, founded the Celebration of Life Gala in 2010. 

This is the second year Team King put on the Gala, with the proceeds going to Camp Kemo, a camp for children suffering with cancer.
