About every two-and-half minutes, someone will be told they have cancer. And current odds are that one in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. These are statistics that we can and will change. And you can help by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®.

This year marks the beginning of our celebration of 25 years of Relay For Life®. More than 3.5 million people across the country will come to a Relay event to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much from too many families. Cancer touches us all, and Relay brings the cancer fight close to home. Sign up or donate today and join us to mark this milestone and the successes we’ve achieved together during the last 25 years. The funds raised at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life saves lives by funding cutting-edge research, early detection and prevention education, and a suite of free information, programs and services to help people who have cancer. Between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009, Relay For Life® communities nationwide are hosting special “Show Us Your HOPE” activities that visually depict the passion Relayers have for the fight against cancer. These activities demonstrate how the American Cancer Society in our community celebrates survivors, remembers loved ones lost and fights back against cancer through Relay For Life®.
