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.
