Relay RewardsBrit Pack and Friends
How We Relay Cancer is in all our lives, either we experience it firsthand or we witness the battle our loved ones go through. On Saturday October 21st, we’ll gather together to honor the lives lost to cancer, and to celebrate survivors and caregivers. It's a day of raising awareness and building community so no one has to go through cancer alone. What happens on the day of the event? Well, for starters, a whole load of spooktacular Halloween fun! Relay For Life is a walking relay, and the theme this year is Halloween so expect to see ghouls and ghosts, and maybe some zombies lurching around the track. Our goal is to always have at least one team member strolling around the course.. any speed and mode is fine: ambling, dawdling, skipping, crawling, sprinting, rolling, they are all glorious! The event kicks off at 10am with an opening lap dedicated to cancer survivors followed by a full day of fun with music, activities, food trucks and shopping to keep us all going. When we're not visiting other teams' booths, Britpack and Friends will be hosting a pop-up art gallery where people can view paintings created at a weekly art therapy night. To raise funds we'll be selling the paintings in the gallery as well as online digital prints. You can come for the whole day or just a short visit. Either way we're excited to see you 😀 As the sun goes down, candlelit luminaria bags decorated for people we cherish are set out around the track so that their name may burn bright in the dark. We close Relay at 9pm, with a special luminaria ceremony to remember those who have lost their lives to cancer. We hope you will join us in person for all or part of the Relay, or virtually by becoming a member of our team. To join, click on the "Join our team" tab.

Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

Location: Valley Glen, CA
Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
As of January 2022, we have invested $400 M for potentially lifesaving cancer research grants.
We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021
Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

Relay RewardsThis 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.
