Relay For Life

Words can never adequately describe Relay For Life^®. You just have to experience it. It’s a combination of sights, sounds, and activities and an outpouring of emotions — hope, unity, perserverance, and triumph for so many cancer survivors. It is the tender memories of those we have lost to cancer.

Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research, advocacy, education and patient services programs of the American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day, cancer will be eliminated.

Sign up today to become a part of the Relay phenomenon. It’s a life-altering experience... emotionally compelling and camaraderie at its best. Whatever Relay means to you, every person involved helps bring us one step closer to eliminating cancer.

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It unites millions of people in thousands of communities nationwide each year to raise money to help prevent cancer, save lives, and diminish suffering from the disease. Every dollar you raise makes a difference to people whose lives are touched by cancer.

Relay started with one man’s vision, and now is the largest nonprofit fundraising event in the world. That’s the power of purple – the power of people like you. Because every life counts.
