What Is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is a fun-filled, community event that offers everyone an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of family members, friends, coworkers and others join together each year to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. In honor of those who battle cancer, team members typically take turns walking the track during Relay. From entertainment, food and games to ceremonies and stories of inspiration, there is something for everyone at Relay For Life Southlake.
