"It's About Being A Community That Takes Up The Fight...."

Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society and is a team event that promotes survivorship and increases cancer awareness in our community! Across America, there were over 4300 Relay for Life events in 2004! Families, schools, companies, hospitals, and other community groups create teams of 8 to 15 people who take turns walking around a track all night to raise money to find a cure!
