Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature event, and the largest charity fundraiser in the world. It is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out, and walk or run around a track “relay” style to beat cancer.

 Just as cancer never sleeps, so must at least one team member stay awake to travel the track throughout the event signifying the diligent quest to find an eventual cure for cancer. Funds raised support cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services in the community.
