The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the only Global walk that stands for every cancer while we walk for every life. Since 1985, communities across the world have come together to honor and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change.
At Relay For Life, you'll find community members taking turns walking a path or track lined with luminaria bags. You'll have the opportunity to cheer for local survivors (or participate as a survivor yourself) in our first lap of the day. Caregivers of cancer patients (currently or previously diagnosed) will then be invited to join the Survivors. Local entertainers will keep you energized. As it gets dark, we will light the luminaria bags surrounding the track in a memorable luminaria ceremony. There will be opportunities to fundraise & fight back!
