Cal Poly Relay for Life

Relay For Life is the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Relay events are staffed and coordinated by volunteers in thousands of communities and nearly 30 countries. Teams raise funds in the months leading up to the Relay event and then camp out at local schools, parks, or fairgrounds and take turns walking or running around a track or path.

Each team is asked to have a walker on the track at all times, while entertainment, music, and fun activities keep things lively. Symbolizing the battle waged around the clock by those facing cancer, the event lasts anywhere from six to 24 hours and empowers communities and individuals to take action for a world without cancer.
