What is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is a community-based event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for the American Cancer Society. On the day of the event, teams of people gather at school or community football fields, fairgrounds or parks and take turns walking, jogging or running laps. Each team is asked to keep at least one representative of their team on the track at all times.

It's About Being A Community
Community Members from businesses, schools, churches and organizations, in addition to cancer survivors, their families and friends, come together in teams of 8 to 15 people each at the Relay For Life. At this unique overnight celebration teams walk or run around the track relay-style for the duration of the event, under the stars and into the light!

Fund Raising
The Relay For Life is also a fund-raising event. Each team member is asked to raise a minimum of $100 from donors before the event. To raise money, team members solicit donations, and hold garage sales, car washes and other fun-filled activities.

Who Participates?
Teams are organized by friends, relatives, local businesses, hospitals, schools, churches, service clubs and other organizations. Anyone can participate in the Relay For Life.

Victory Lap For Cancer Survivors
The American Cancer Society invites ALL cancer survivors to unite at the Relay For Life for a group victory lap against this dreaded disease. Team members, sponsors and spectators will be inspired by your resolve to conquer cancer and your desire to make a difference in your community in the fight against cancer!

Victory Lap: 7:00 p.m. Friday, July 20th
