The American Cancer Society Relay For
Life is a unique, challenging and fun way to raise
money for cancer research and increase awareness of
services available to cancer patients, their families,
and our communities.
The event will be held at Alan B Shepard High School
where teams of 10 --15 people from corporations, hospitals,
civic groups and families take turn in the Relay. At
least one team member at a time must walk, jog or run
around the track for a scheduled period of time. Each
Team Captain coordinates the team schedule.
The event begins on June 11, 2011 afternoon at noon
with the set-up of campsites and fun filled activities.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life begins at
2:00 p.m. with the Opening Ceremony and the Cancer
Survivor's Victory Lap. Teams begin walking after the
Cancer Survivor's Victory Lap and continue throughout
the event. At dusk, a candlelight Luminaria Ceremony
is held to honor cancer survivors and to remember those
who lost the battle against cancer. This ceremony is
open to the public and attendees do not have to be
on a Relay team to enjoy this part of the American
Cancer Society Relay For Life. The Luminaria Ceremony
is the soul of the event.
