Relay For Life^®

Relay For Life^® is the American Cancer Society's signature event that brings more than 3.5 million people from 4,900 communities across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Relay For Life^® is a fun-filled, overnight event that empowers everyone to help fight cancer by raising money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission. Teams of people camp out at local high schools, parks, or fairgrounds 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. Relay For Life^® symbolizes the hope that people lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face the disease have support, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

This year marks the beginning of our celebration of 25 years of Relay For Life^®. We hope you will join us to mark this milestone and the successes we’ve achieved together during the last 25 years. Learn more about the Society’s accomplishments.

Sign up today for a Relay For Life^® event in your community. Together, we can do more in the fight against cancer together than any of us can do alone.
