One day. One night. One community. The Arlington Relay For Life® is about celebration, remembrance, and hope. By participating, you honor cancer survivors, pay tribute to the lives we've lost to the disease, and raise money to help fight it all right here in your community. You won't want to miss one moment of this life- and community-affirming event!
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.
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. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
· Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people 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.
