What is Relay For Life?

---

Relay For Life is the signature fundraising activity of the American Cancer Society.

Everyone in the community has a chance to join the fight against cancer through Relay For Life. Teams of 5 to 15 people camp out at a local park 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. Relays are 12 to 24 hours in length and go overnight.
Campsites are set-up at the park for each team, and decorated to reflect the overall relay theme. The campsites not only serve as "home-base" for the teams, but as opportunities to do fundraising and share important information about cancer control.
Because Relay For Life is a community gathering rather than an athletic event, anyone and everyone can participate. Teams form from businesses, clubs, families, friends, hospitals, churches, schools, and service organizations.
