About Relay for Life
Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s main fundraiser to help communities strike back against cancer. The funds raised at the events are used to help honor survivors and help current cancer patients and families affected with needed resources like rides to appointments, places to stay near hospitals as well as support a 24/7 helpline
