For over 35 years, communities across the world have come together to honor and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change. Relay For Life is a movement, a community of like-minded survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and participants who believe that the future can be free from cancer. There are many ways you can get involved and support our Relay mission and support the work of the American Cancer Society. Relay volunteers help with registration, logistics, participant support, and other unique opportunities based on the needs of the event.
