Fundraising
Relay For Life is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society where you can celebrate cancer survivors and remember those no longer here. The American Cancer Society is the only organization that integrates advocacy, research, and patient support to measurably improve the lives of cancer patients and their families. You will become an advocate to share the work of the American Cancer Society to personally impact the fight against cancer.
