About American Cancer Society - Relay For Life
Location:
1120 South Goodman St, Rochester, NY 14620, US
Mission Statement
Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature event with over 5,200 Relays nationwide. Funds raised from Relay support the American Cancer Society's mission of creating more birthdays through advocacy, research, education and patient & family services.
Description
Relay For Life offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event. Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
Relay for Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:
- Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
- Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
- Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.
