8 About Relay For Life What is Relay For Life? The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight team event that raises awareness of cancer in the community and raises funds to fight cancer. Throughout Relay For Life, teams of friends, families and co-workers commit to keeping at least one member walking the track because cancer never sleeps. Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society s signature activity. It began in 1985 in Tacoma, Washington, when Dr. Gordon Klatt walked for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. He raised $27,000 that first year, and Relay For Life was born. Relay For Life day is full of fun, fellowship, and festivities. People camp out and create a community party atmosphere together. It s a great team builder for businesses, religious congregations, and other organizations. Cancer touches all of us. Survivors Lap Each Relay For Life starts with the Survivors Lap. Cancer survivors invited from the community walk in this celebration of survivorship, while the rest of the participants cheer them on. It s testimony to the fact that so many people today do survive cancer. Luminaria Ceremony The most inspirational part of Relay is the Luminaria Ceremony. This is a chance to honor cancer survivors, and to remember those who have lost their battle with the disease. A Luminaria is a small bag filled with sand, with a small candle that makes it glow. Each Luminaria bears the name of a person who has battled cancer. At dusk, we light all the candles along the path. They burn into the night and light the way for the walkers creating a path of hope.
