HOW TO LIGHT A CANDLE TO FIGHT CANCER

Relay for Life is an overnight celebration of life dedicated to present and former cancer patients, their families and friends. Relay for Life raises money for the American Cancer Society while raising awareness that cancer can and will be beaten. Luminaria that have been purchased through donations will line the track.

At our Ceremony of Hope at sundown, all luminaria will be lit in memory of or in honor of loved ones and friends who have had cancer. Each luminaria will have the loved one's/friend's name on it.

You do not need to be present or a participant in the Relay to take part in this ceremony. But everyone is invited to attend and to light their luminaria candles. It's the most powerful and moving part of the Relay!
