Relay RewardsTeam Griffin
Even though we all have our own reason for joining Relay For Life, we'll take down cancer because we're in it together. Our team is fundraising for the American Cancer Society's support service and lifesaving research.
Believe us, every dollar really does count, so we're asking for your help. Please donate or join our team today, because together we can end cancer.
On November 16th, 2023, Griffin Snyder was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer that developed in his left ankle and recently spread to his lungs. Griffin is a senior at the University of Tennessee majoring in sports management and is a member of the Kappa Tau chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. As baseball is his passion, Griffin has worked as a sales intern for the Tennessee Smokies, the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. After graduating from UT, he hopes to pursue a career in Major League Baseball.
On November 27th, Griffin went back to his hometown of Gaithersburg, Maryland to begin his chemotherapy treatment at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. This is a 30 week process that consists of 10 weeks of chemotherapy, surgery, followed by 20 more weeks of chemotherapy. Due to the nature of his cancer, Griffin’s treatment is the most intense form of chemotherapy which requires him to stay at the hospital for multiple days at a time. Despite this, Griffin has kept a positive attitude throughout this whole process that we all admire.

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.
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.
