The light of remembrance, the light of hope and the shining promise of eventual victory over cancer are all symbolized in this unique and poignant ceremony. Team members just never know what to expect at the Relay for Life. From creative and outrageous team themes and fully decorated campsites to food, family and fun, the Relay for Life always inspires, entertains, and motivates participants to continue the crusade against cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America. Among children ages 1-14, cancer causes more deaths in the U.S. than any other disease.
Tobacco is responsible for nearly one in five deaths in the United States.
Every day 3,000 kids start smoking. Everyone in our community has been touched in some way by cancer. It isn't too late to get involved in the Relay for Life.
