Cancer touches everyone and involvement in Relay For Life is a great way for local businesses to show their commitment to help save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Your sponsorship can help save lives! By sponsoring Relay for Life, you are making the greatest impact in the fight against cancer. The American Cancer Society fights for every life threatened by every type of cancer in every community. The work we do impacts everyone regardless of where the funds are raised.

Other ways for local businesses to help support Relay For Life are by creating a team, providing in-kind donations; encouraging employees to volunteer at the event or collecting Relay donations at your place of business. There are also customized sponsorship opportunities that can be created to meet your needs.

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It is a fun and unique way for people to raise money for the battle against cancer, helping to save lives and create more birthday’s right in our own communities. Teams of approximately 15 people camp out at Hart Middle School and take turns walking around a track. Relay is an event with the perfect combination of exercise, entertainment, and inspiration.

In Rochester and nearly 5,200 other communities around the globe, Relay For Life unites people to celebrate the lives of those who have faced cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease. Relay for Life, the world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, continues to grow, as tens of thousands of people will participate in Relay events across our state.

Relay For Life brings together families, friends, businesses, hospitals, schools, and faith-based groups – people from all walks of life – all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.
