Rising Stars Team
Why is the Rising Stars Team walking to raise funds for ACS? All of us on the Rising Stars Team are survivors and/or have lost friends or family to cancer. This is our twentieth year participating in the ACS Relay for Life. We are walking and raising funds for ACS to make a difference in the fight against this disease. Someone from our Rising Stars Team will be walking at all times for 12 hours on July 20 because cancer never sleeps. We are walking to raise money and awareness, to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Our team is doing our part in the fight against cancer. In the past nineteen years, with your support and donations, the Rising Stars Team has raised over $250,000 for ACS. Our Rising Stars Team is named in memory of Peggy Rising, who passed away from uterine cancer in 2005, the first year we participated in Relay.

Please make a donation of any size to our team, because saving lives and curing cancer starts one team, one person, one step and one dollar at a time.
Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
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.
Since 1991 we have invested $3.43 billion in cancer research.
We have received over 360,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2023.
Cancer patients benefited from the ACS transportation support through our Road To Recovery program and transportation grants in 2023, with nearly 769,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

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.
