Awards & Recognition
As a long-standing tradition, it is with pleasure and appreciation that we recognize the efforts and accomplishments of individuals and communities who help fuel the mission of the American Cancer Society through the Relay For Life movement. Recognition is not just "a good thing to do," it is a critical component in how we acknowledge, value, and thank our volunteers for their time and commitment to making a difference. Relay For Life volunteers play a key role in making this cancer's last century.
While no award can adequately recognize all that Relay For Life volunteers achieve in their efforts to eliminate cancer, the Society offers the Relay For Life Nationwide Awards and Recognition Program as a tribute to some of the nation's most outstanding participants.
2016 Relay For Life Awards
We are excited to introduce our 2016 Relay For Life Awards and Recognition program to recognize the passion, commitment, and generosity of those who have achieved extraordinary accomplishments.
