Our Signature Activity
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a fun-filled, overnight experience you'll never forget.
Relay mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones, and
raise money to support the mission of the American Cancer Society. Teams of 8-15 participants seek
contributions prior to Relay. Then, at the event, they gather with tents and sleeping bags to camp
out at local high schools, parks, or fairgrounds and take turns walking or running around a track or
path. Relay brings together friends, family, businesses, hospitals, schools, places of worship... people
from all walks of life! Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during
this overnight event... because cancer never sleeps.
About Hope
When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminaria light the way under the stars to remember those lost to
cancer, those fighting cancer, and those who have fought the battle and won. The luminaria that light
up the night symbolize the hope and perseverance to continue the fight.
About Honor
Relay welcomes all cancer survivors, our honored guests, to take part in the Survivors' Victor Lap. Their
courage and strength help the community see that cancer survivorship is real - thanks to your help,
we are making progress in the fight against cancer.
About Making the Connection
Relay is your connection to the support your American Cancer Society provides. Through Relay, you will
become more knowledgeable about cancer prevention and early detection.

I stumbled upon another news article in the Carthage Press that I missed earlier. This is from our Community Kick-Off and features Libby Peck's story as well as other information about our Relay.
