How can you help?

Form a team
Gather your family, friends,neighbors and coworkers and form a team. Your team of 8-15 people will take turns walking, running or strolling around the track. "Camp out" on the surrounding area and enjoy 12 hours of music, food and fun. All ages are invited to participate. Team registration is $25. Team Captain meetings will be available to learn more about the event, fundraising ideas, networking with other participants and more. All donations will support education, advocacy, research and patient services in your community.

Celebrate
Cancer survivors and caregivers are invited to join in the celebration by participating in a reception, special gifts, stories of hope, dedicated laps and other activities designed to celebrate and honor survivors and their caregivers.

Remember
Luminaria bags will light the night in memory of loved ones who have lost their battle with cancer, and in honor of cancer survivors. You can purchase a personalized luminaria bag, and join in the 10 p.m. ceremony which is the highlight of the evening.

Fight Back
Join others in your community by making a commitment to "fight back". Choose healthy lifestyle choices, promote cancer screening, education and research and serve as an advocate to help eliminate a disease that has already affected too many lives.

Volunteer
Help is needed before, during and after the event. All talents and interests are welcome. Relay is a community event to fight cancer. If you or your group can help in any way...we need you!

Overview
Relay For Life is a life changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and empower individuals and communities to fight back against a disease that takes too much. 
Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. It is the strength of cancer survivors that inspires others to continue to fight.
Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, those who have walked alongside those battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease. Make a commitment to save a life by taking up the fight.
