What
is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers
everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against
cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and
take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have
a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an
overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.
Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds
to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay. To participate, form a
team, or dedicate a luminaria at your local American Cancer Society Relay For
Life, please call 1.800.227.2345 or visit cancer.org.
Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5
million people to:
• Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of
survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
• Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked
alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
• Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately
want to put an end to the disease.
There is not a required amount of money to raise in order to participate in
Relay For Life. The American Cancer Society's recommendation is for each
participant to set a personal goal to raise $100. If you raise more, that's even
better. If you do not raise $100, you are still welcome to participate. We're
glad to have you. The only requirement to participate in Relay For Life is the
$10 registration/commitment fee (per person) that is due upon registration.
Please verify the registration fee with your local office, as some Relays may
differ. After that, anything you can raise through individual, team, or online
fundraising is graciously accepted.
