Dedicate a Luminaria Survivor Information and Registration

The Luminaria Ceremony is the opportunity for people to come together to remember loved ones lost to cancer and honor those who have won their battle. This is one of the most moving parts of the event that you will not want to miss. Honor or remember someone at Relay For Life with a luminaria. Learn More

Survivors are the reason we Relay. Survivors make up a group of nearly 11 million strong who are finding their way through the cancer experience and fighting back against the disease. At Relay For Life, Survivors are our guests of honor. Learn More

Welcome to Relay for Life at Latrobe Memorial Stadium 2010!

The countdown to June 19, 2010 has begun and we invite everyone to join us as we CELEBRATE our survivors, REMEMBER those we have lost and FIGHT BACK! against a disease that takes so much by planning an amazing and successful Relay For Life event!  With your help, 2010 is going to ROCK!
