The Luminaria Ceremony is a signature element of every Relay For Life event. At nightfall, these homemade paper lanterns, decorated with the names of loved ones, are lit in honor and in memory of a life touched by cancer. Who are you dedicating a luminaria for?
Each bag can be decorated beforehand or on the day of the event.

ATLANTA, May 7, 2024 - Today, the American Cancer Society (ACS) is proud to announce the launch of the VOICES of Black Women® study, the largest behavioral and environmental focused population study of cancer risk and outcomes in Black women in the United States. Designed to better understand the multi-level drivers of cancer incidence, mortality and resilience within this demographic, the long-term study will gather valuable data from Black women between the ages of 25 and 55 from diverse backgrounds and income levels who have not been diagnosed with cancer. The organization aims to enroll over 100,000 Black women across 20 states and D.C. where, according to the U.S. Census, more than 90 percent of Black women in the U.S. reside.

Every Dollar Makes a Difference
At Relay For Life events, no one faces cancer alone. We come together every year at events around the country to support and celebrate survivors and caregivers.
Each Relay has special events and activities (many throughout the year) just for survivors and their caregivers, so they can connect with others and know there is a strong support system available to them.
What is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is more than just a walk, we are a community movement to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We come together to celebrate Survivors, Remember those we've lost and Fight Back together!
Walking We welcome all our teams to walk the track throughout our event. When you walk the track, each lap you take is in support of those touched by cancer. We even have laps dedicated to our Survivors and Caregivers, Team Laps, and our Luminaria Silent Lap
Celebration, Fun & Food We have LOTS of fun activities for the whole family at Relay including a DJ, entertainment from local dance groups, lawn games, and more! Each team can bring food to enjoy under their tent.
Luminaria -Shining a Light on HOPE As the sun sets, we illuminate the track with Luminaria bags decorated and dedicated to our loved ones touched by cancer. These bags can be purchased in honor, memory or support.
Teams We encourage you to make a fundraising team. Register by clicking Join This Relay above, invite your people and start fundraising to fight cancer. Teams can be family and friends, students, sports teams, clubs, or local businesses and organizations. Anyone who has been touched by cancer can make a team! On Relay day we invite our teams to set up a spot along the track to "camp out" for the event. We encourage each member to raise $100 to reach our HOPE Club to receive our 2025 Event T-Shirt! The more you raise, the larger your impact!
Caregivers Our Caregivers are so special and give an extra fight back attitude to their loved ones. At Relay, we celebrate our Caregivers during our Caregiver lap where we ask Survivors and all attendees to cheer them on and show these special people a little extra love!
Survivors At Relay we CELEBRATE our Survivors and Thrivers in many ways! In addition to the Survivor lap, we have a Survivor Tent, with catered food donated by local businesses. We also have a local Survivor Honoree who speaks to share their cancer journey to inspire us all. Be sure to register and click Survivor to receive your complimentary 2025 Survivor T-Shirt, then wear it proudly all year long and at Relay!

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:
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.
