Relay for Life Kickoff

Would you like to be part of the local effort to fight all types of cancer?

Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society's flagship fundraiser. Since 2010, the Springfield/Burke Relay for Life has raised over $300,000 to support research, education, and patient/family support services.

Relays are held in over 5100 communities. Every Relay is at least 12 hours long, overnight, and includes celebrations of survivorship, a luminaria ceremony for survivors and those lost, and entertainment throughout the night.
