Become involved with Relay For Life!
Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. At the event, we celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
But, Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. During this event, we honor survivors during the Survivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminaria Ceremony. There will also be lots of entertainment, great food and tons of fun!
Most importantly, Relay gives you the power to help in the fight against cancer. By joining together as volunteers, our efforts help the American Cancer Society strive toward a future where cancer doesn’t take the lives of our friends and family.
Volunteers are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support, coordinate logistics, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way.
