EVENT DETAILS
What is Relay???
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local school and take turns walking or running around a track. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relay is an overnight event. Relay For Life brings together millions of people to raise money to help prevent cancer, save lives, and diminish suffering from the disease.

Where will this take place?
At the Kellogg Middle School Track in Kellogg, Idaho.

Where can I learn more about the American Cancer Society?
