Student Relays

The American Cancer Society has many ways for students to be involved with Relay For Life. We offer fundraising, cancer education and leadership opportunities for all students – elementary through college. In addition to the option for students to participate in their local community Relay For Life event, students and schools have the option to host or participate in their own activities. All these activities provide opportunities for students, teachers, administrators and faculty to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has taken too many lives.
