What is Relay For Life? Relay For Life is a chance for communities to recognise and celebrate those who have overcome cancer or are undergoing treatment, as well as the people who care for them. Relay also provides an opportunity to celebrate the memory of loved ones lost to cancer.

What is the purpose of Relay For Life?
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement is the world's largest peer-to-peer fundraising event dedicated to saving lives from cancer. For over 35 years, communities across the world have come together to honor and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change.
What happens at a Relay For Life event?
WHAT HAPPENS AT A RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT? Teams and individuals fundraise and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Music, games, food, fun and fundraising. Participants will take part in fundraising the months leading up to the event.
Why do people walk for Relay For Life?
All cancer walks and runs are excellent ways to raise money and awareness, but Relay for Life embraces all types of cancer, not just one type. Proceeds from the thousands of Relay for Life events help further cancer research and other ACS-sponsored programs.
What does it mean to join a Relay For Life team?
When you Relay, you show people impacted by cancer in your community that they're not alone. Join our movement with thousands of participants across the country.
