What is Relay?
At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds raised truly make a difference in the fight against cancer - just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year!
At our event, Relay For Life teams (almost 500 participants last year) camp out overnight and take turns walking or running around the track at Unionville High School. Our event runs from 6PM to 8AM, and because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have at least one participant on the track at all times.
