So, what is Relay?

American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is a year-round community fundraising event to combat cancer. Committee members volunteer throughout the year to organize events to raise money, honor our survivors, caregivers and our loved ones we have lost. They plan the 24- hour overnight walk and so much more. There is something for everyone.

The overnight fundraising walk is comprised of teams with 5-15 members that take turns walking the track at Saddleback College to raise funds that are used for research, education, advocacy and services. Together we can eliminate cancer and create a world with more birthdays.

Because Relay is a team event, individual participants are not required to be there the entire time. However, it’s so much fun you will want to get caught up in the party atmosphere. The day is packed with entertainment- bands play, Zumba, onsite fundraisers, free movies, etc.
