Relay For Life of Berkeley is Coming August 20!

Help us fight cancer at Relay For Life of Berkeley on August 20th at Berkeley High School.

The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Berkeley will take place on Saturday, August 20 beginning 10:00AM at Berkeley High School Athletic Field. Join local volunteers and participants from the community and celebrate cancer survivors, remember those lost to the disease, and take action to save more lives from cancer. The opening ceremony, which includes a special Survivors and Caregivers Lap, will begin at 10:00AM. Family friendly activities, entertainment, food and more will be happening throughout the day. A Luminaria Ceremony to honor cancer survivors and remember those lost to cancer will take place at 9:00PM. The closing ceremony will be at 9:30PM.

In case you’ve never been to Relay For Life before, in summary, it’s a 12-hour, family friendly event where we celebrate cancer survivors, remember and honor our loved ones lost or still battling, and raise money to fight back against cancer! All proceeds support the American Cancer Society to fund research toward cures and programs and services for patients and their families.
