Included in this site are many new aspects not only for our area's Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society. As with All Relay For Life Events, our community of teams include families, friends, and coworkers that join together to CELEBRATE the lives of those who have batteled cancer, REMEMBER those lost and FIGHT BACK against a disease that takes too much by raising money for American Cancer Society-funded research and programs. We encourage you to explore this website and learn more about our very special Relay For Life!
