The American Cancer Society’s invites the public to join the fight against cancer by participating in their fundraising event, Relay for Life. The overnight event remembers those who have lost the fight against cancer, supports those who are currently fighting cancer, and honors those who have survived it.

The American Cancer Society encourages everyone to participate. During the event, team members take turns walking on the track and camping out overnight. Each participant is encouraged to raise at least $100 for the American Cancer Society.

More than 1.4 million new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed this year. Cancer is a major public health problem in the United States and many other parts of the world. 1 in 4 deaths in the United States is cancer related.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.
