5. 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.

6. 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.

“Ihad a very positive experience volunteering to help
with Relay for Life. My grandmother passed away after battling
cancer, so assisting in this event meant a lot to me. I met a lot of
amazing women, who were kind enough to share their stories
with me. The courage and tenacity these women exhibit makes
me proud to be a woman! It was an honor to be able to donate
my time to help raise money to find a cure to help women in the
future. It was also amazing to see the many generations of
women walking together in a unified display of their
determination to beat this vicious foe.
The luminary ceremony was inspiring and
touching. It was surprisingly upbeat and
encouraging, a fitting tribute to those who were
not as lucky in their fight against cancer.
I would be honored to participate in this event
again next year!”
