Relay For Life is the signature activity of the American Cancer Society. More than 5,000 events take place nationwide, and now, even around the world in countries like Singapore and Australia. With the help of people like you, Relay For Life has become the largest activity of its kind in the country.
But more than a fundraiser, Relay For Life is:

A cancer survivor event-within-an-event. At every Relay For Life, cancer survivors are honored for their courage and strength by beginning the event with an honorary lap. The individuals are celebrated in various ways from food and t-shirts, to dances and games!

A community fair. Few other events bring together all components of a community from children to older adults like the Relay For Life. Games, food, fun, music and activities fill the air of every Relay For Life as everyone joins for a common cause and has fun doing it!

A luminaria ceremony. Survivors and those who are no longer with us are honored at this one-of-a-kind ceremony. Paper bags bearing the names of loved ones line the track and often the entire stadium. A candle is placed inside and is lit at dusk. Often the names of all of the bags are read to the sound of heart-felt music. This moving, memorable portion of the event is often the most powerful time of the entire Relay For Life activity.

There is much, much more as YOUR Relay For Life takes on the personality of the committee planning it and the community hosting.
