Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.
"In your hands lies the destiny of a great organization. Let us build it to national recognition. Let us organize it in the interest of the young men for a greater America. Let us not fail in this task."
