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.
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.
When and Where are the Relays Held?
Relay For Life events are held in thousands of communities across the country. The Relays usually take place at a high school or college track.
In the months to come we'll be posting web sites built by Relay teams from around the country. If you need more help or have any other questions about Relay for Life, contact your local ACS office or call 1-800-ACS-2345.
