Relay For Life

Relay For Life is an inspirational, non-competitive, 12-hour overnight fundraising event that brings you and your school together to celebrate life and fight cancer. Relay For Life has a festival-like atmosphere that students, teachers, family and friends can enjoy regardless of age or fitness level!

Teams of 10-15 people fundraise individually and as a team to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those who are facing cancer. Relay participants make a commitment to raise at least $100 and are supported with the tools needed to reach their goals.

At Relay, teams gather with cancer survivors at their local school and take turns walking laps all night. Each team keeps at least one member on the track at all times, while all around them the party is in full swing. Teams stay overnight in the decorated tent city, united to enjoy music, food, activities and entertainment and to celebrate life.

Why is Relay overnight?

For the thousands of Canadians fighting cancer right now, their journey is long and hard. From the shock of initial diagnosis, through days of treatment and the long nights that follow for them, cancer never sleeps, so neither do we.

At Relay For Life, each step we take is our way of showing them that they are not alone. As the sun rises and Relay draws to a close, we commit to continuing the fight for life all year long.

Please note: The Elementary School Program is not overnight.


SPREAD THE WORD

Tell your friends and family the good things Relay For Life does to celebrate, remember, and fight back.
