Want to stay up all night, hang out with your friends AND help cure cancer? Then this is the event for you! The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® is your chance to meet new people and join the fight to eliminate cancer from our planet - once and for all. Your grandparents and parents had to worry about cancer in their lifetimes - but you can be the generation that changes history forever.

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!
