Celebrate - The Survivor's Lap

Relay starts with a Survivor's Lap - an inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories achieved over cancer. The Survivor's Lap is an emotional example of how Relay participants are creating a world with more birthdays like those of each individual on the track. Remember - The Luminaria Ceremony



After dark we honor people who have been touched by cancer and remember loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Each bag bears the name of a person touched by cancer. Fight Back - The Fight Back Ceremony

On Saturday we conduct our Fight Back Ceremony where we make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer.

Our Story

What is Relay For Life?

Relay is a team fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path. Each event is 6-24 hours in length and each team is asked to have a member on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps. Cancer patients don't stop because they're tired, and for one night, neither do we. Each team sets up a themed campsite at the event and continues their fundraising efforts by collecting donations for food, goods, games, and activities. This money will count towards their overall team fundraising goal.
