What is Relay for Life?
Have fun. Raise funds. Fight cancer.
The Relay For Life movement is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraiser dedicated to helping communities attack cancer. From team members to volunteers, we all want to remember those we’ve lost, help those affected today, and take action against cancer. Through funds donated, time given, or awareness raised, our communities are teaming up to make a difference, whether we’re connecting virtually or sharing space. When we rally together in the fight against cancer through this fun and inspirational event, we can accomplish anything.
How you can help
Join a Relay Event
Join a team virtually or in person and help raise money to help fund everything from breakthrough cancer research to patient support.
Donate
You can also help save lives by making a donation online. Every dollar fuels the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer.
Fundraise
This year’s Relay is more virtual than ever, but there’s still plenty of ways to fundraise, like our FUNdraising app, Facebook Fundraisers, and the tools on your Event Dashboard.
How fundraising impacts your community
1 out of 3 people in the US will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
Help even the odds in the fight against cancer. The funds you raise through Relay For Life will not only honor survivors and remember loved ones, but also help give cancer patients and their families the resources they need, like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline for answers and support.

Would you like to lead the team or join the team?
This isn’t what I wanted.
Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.
Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
This tool allows event managers to edit sections of the event website. Here’s how:

- Use the in-line editor controls to make changes to the section.

It’s that easy! Throughout the year, we’ll unlock more sections and add features to this tool in order to improve your ability to manage your event website.
