 "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!
acsrelay.org is an on-line resource webpage for Relay For Life. This site provides a manual for event chairs, ideas for fundraising, team themes, ceremonies, team recruitment, site logistics, team captain's meetings, kickoffs, music suggestions, and more! This website is constantly being improved - come back weekly for updates!  If you need more information, have feedback, have a great idea, have questions, or to JOIN OUR MAILING LIST, please CONTACT US
