We hope you will join us for the annual Relay For Life of Greater Arlington! If you're not familiar, Relay For Life is the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. At the event, we celebrate, remember, and honor those who we have lost to cancer and those who are still fighting their battles with cancer. We also fundraise for the amazing work of the American Cancer Society, including their 24/7 helpline, their free lodging program for when patients need to travel for care -- Hope Lodge -- and the ground-breaking research they promote and fund.
We will begin the evening with an opening ceremony and cancer survivor and caregiver lap, honor our cancer survivors with a catered dinner, and when the sun sets, remember those we've lost in the emotional Luminaria Ceremony. There's lots of fun to be had as well, as in the name of fighting cancer! This is our first overnight Relay since before the pandemic, and we've got a fun schedule of activities to keep us moving and excited throughout the night. The overnight event helps to remind us of the long and tough journey that a cancer survivor experiences. Throughout the night, we'll continue to walk around the track, play carnival games, play a midnight dodgeball game, have a group dance class, watch the world cup and a 2am movie, do some sunrise yoga in the early morning, and so much more!
Help us in the fight against cancer and join us for Relay For Life of Greater Arlington on Saturday, June 13th beginning at 5:30pm at Peirce Field of Arlington High School. You can sign up for free and find more details at relayforlife.org/arlingtonma, and we hope you'll help us fundraise for the amazing work that the American Cancer Society does!
