WHAT IS THE RELAY FOR LIFE?
The Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's signature event to raise money for cancer research, education, advocacy and services.

WHO ARE THE RELAYERS?
Participants of all ages and all walks of life are encouraged to form teams and take turns over the 24 hour period in walking, jogging, or running around the track.

LOTS OF FUN
The Relay is a fun and family event. It is also a smoke free and alcohol free event. A wide variety of entertainment for everyone is being scheduled to include bands, singers, dancers, clowns, etc. Additionally, we have a cancer control awareness program scheduled during the Relay, which will offer information about detection, treatment, and surviving cancer.

Teams will set up tents, barbecue, cookout and just party around the track over the 24 hour period to celebrate life and good times for the cancer survivors.

The Relay offers an opportunity to salute cancer survivors as well as honor those who have lost the battle to cancer.

THERE ARE 3 CEREMONIES AT THE RELAY.
  1.   Opening Ceremony---The Opening Ceremony is an emotionally filled ceremony that officially starts the Relay. It features hundreds of cancer survivors officially starting the Relay by walking in the opening lap. After they complete the first lap, the other participants come on to the track and take their turn.

  2.   Luminary Ceremony---It is an opportunity to pay respect and honor those who have lost the battle to cancer.


  3.   Closing Ceremony--- Everyone at the Relay gathers onto the track for the final lap, which signifies unity and the official end of the Relay.
