Event Details

Relay For Life is a grass roots, community-based team event.

Although every Relay For Life event is different, they do have a few things in common.

Event Schedule

Survivor and Caregiver Dinner

Survivors and Caregivers are invited to join us for a late lunch/ early dinner from 2pm to 3:30pm in the Hale. Participants need to be registered prior to the dinner to ensure we can accommodate everyone!

Opening Ceremony

Time to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who's been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year's Relay season. 3:30-4pm

Survivor/Caregiver Walk

Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. We honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn't matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on. This very important first lap will begin at 4pm

Luminaria Ceremony

During this ceremony we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It's a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope. This touching ceremony will begin at 9pm.

Closing Ceremony

Our closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It's a time to celebrate what we've accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward. We will begin this ceremony at 11:30pm and conclude at 12am.
