What is Relay? Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event where everyone can participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of 10 to 24 people or more from all walks of life camp out at Buena Park Jr. High School and take turns walking and running around the track. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times, while special entertainment, music, and fun activities keep things lively. It is hours of fun and everyone is welcome. This is an event for people of all ages and levels of fitness and is open to everyone in the community, with teams formed between friends, family, schools and co-workers. No matter who you are, there is a place for you at Relay! Hope Lights the Way.When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminaria bags light the way under the stars to remember those lost to cancer, those fighting cancer and won. This ceremony symbolizes the hope and perseverance with which we all continue to fight. Honor Survivors.Survivors are invited to join us as our honorary guests in the survivor's lap, which begins Relay For Life. Your strength and courage help the community see that cancer survivorship is real - that we are making progress in the battle against cancer. COME JOIN US TO CONQUER CANCER and SAVE LIVES!

Mission Statement
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.
Description
Relay For Life is a fun-filled event designed to celebrate cancer survivors and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against the disease.
During the Relay for Life, 10-20 people come together to form a team. The teams come from local businesses, churches, MOMs clubs, youth groups, etc and take turns walking/running laps around a high school track. The entrance fee per team is ONLY $150 and then each person fundraises at their own pace. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times for a total of 24-hours.
WHY 24 HOURS??!
It's crazy, but WoNdErFuL! The reason its 24 hours long is because cancer patients endure pain 24 hours a day and we can all give up 24 hours to celebrate them, their lives and the strides in finding a cure!! Cancer never sleeps.
There are 25 Relay for Life events throughout Orange County! So go to www.relayforlife.org and find the one nearest YOU!! OH, don't forget to invite your favorite cancer survivors... we want to honor and pamper them at our events!
