Relay For Life events are held overnight as
individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering
area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway
at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior
to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their campsites
during Relay. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals,
schools, faith-based groups . . . people from all walks of life – all aimed at celebrating
the lives of those who have had cancer, remembering those lost, and fighting
back against the disease.



Relay For Life is all about our community uniting
with the American Cancer Society and supporting its efforts to create a world
with less cancer and more birthdays. Volunteers and participants who are
willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event will be making a
commitment to let Fife/Milton/Edgewood know that cancer can be defeated.”

Buckley as a volunteer or team participant, contact Becky Crocker
