Relay For Life, the American Cancer Society’s signature event, is a time to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost to the disease, and get inspired to fight back – all right in your community.

During the event, participants come together at fairgrounds, parks, and schools to walk or run laps to raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society.

This year, 330 Relays will take place in Michigan and Indiana, and it’s not too late to get involved! To find out how you can celebrate, remember, and fight back at a Relay near you, visit www.RelayForLife.org.
