During Relay For Life® , you'll help raise funds and spread awareness in support of the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives and help people who have cancer. But Relay is more than that. It's about joining students in the world’s largest grassroots movement to fight cancer. It’s about being a school that takes up the fight! And it's about: Celebrating the lives of cancer survivors Remembering loved ones lost to cancer Fighting Back against the disease that's already taken too much from too many families
What are we fighting for? The next time you're sitting in class, look around. Over the course of their lives, one of every two guys will probably develop or die from cancer. For girls, the odds are one out of three. These are statistics that we can change. But we need your help! So what are you waiting for? Round up your friends, start spreading the word and help us stop cancer in its tracks - today!
