• An American Cancer Society Relay For Life event is a community gathering where teams take turns walking around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. • The Relay celebration can truly be symbolized by the courage and spirit of the survivors and caregivers in your community. The Survivors Lap, which opens every Relay For Life event, ensures that survivors and caregivers experience healing and celebration and are charged to take action in the fight against cancer. If you know any survivors or caregivers, please invite them to participate. • When the sun goes down (for us, as our event begins to conclude), a number of luminaria (votive candles placed in decorated white paper bags) light the track in remembrance of those who have faced cancer. For many, a Relay For Life event is the one place and time they can join together and find healing from their cancer experience, honor those who have survived, and remember those they have lost. For a donation, you and your team members can order these glowing tributes for friends or loved ones who have faced cancer.
