Relay at ERHS on April 18-19

Finish the fight against cancer! Gather as a community for Relay for Life, a family friendly event benefitting the American Cancer Society.

Chances are you have been or know someone who has been affected by cancer. You know the struggle. You want to help...

Relay for Life is the opportunity to help those with cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society. Fundraising for ACS helps them educate, advocate, research, and provide services all in an effort to finish the fight against cancer.

Eagle Rock and the rest of Northeast LA can come together as a community to join this fight through Relay for Life. Form a team or register as a survivor NOW. Then on April 18-19, participate in the event where team members and individuals take turns walking on the track for 24 hours, through the night, in a symbolic show of recognition that cancer does not sleep. Take part in the 3 ceremonies that inspire and motivate us to walk: Celebrate survivors (as they take the first lap at 10am), remember loved ones passed during luminaria at 9pm, and energize the group in the morning to continue the fight until we are victorious!
