Announcements
Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is an international day of charity. Rather than spending on stocking stuffers, let's put our money where it matters: cancer research and patient care programs.
Ask your friends and family to donate to your RFL page instead of getting you yet another pair of novelty socks, and help us end cancer as we know it!
Welcome to our new site!
We're piloting a new site this year, which is so exciting! It is mobile friendly and easy to use to help you fundraise, message, recruit, and stay informed about the event.
Take a look around, get registered, customize your page, and help us make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Need help or have some feedback you'd like to share, please contact Julie Harris (julie.harris1@cancer.org).
Event Fundraising
Top Participants
Survivors and Caregivers
At Relay For Life events, no one faces cancer alone. We come together every year at events around the country to support and celebrate survivors and caregivers.
Each Relay has special events and activities (many throughout the year) just for survivors and their caregivers, so they can connect with others and know there is a strong support system available to them.
SPONSORS
Our biggest THANK YOU to the Madeline and Marvin Gussman Family Foundation, Howard Gussman, Shane Gussman, and Echo Zhu who have been phenomenal advocates in the fight against cancer.
We are so grateful for your generous support over the years.
