1. Relay For Life Facts History
Relay For Life began in 1985 in Tacoma, Washington, when Dr. Gordy Klatt walked around a track for 24 hours raising $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. Relay For Life was born.
It’s Extraordinary
Anyone who has stepped foot onto a track at Relay For Life has felt the impact that a single event can have on a community. Imagine, the power of nearly 5,000 communities across the nation united in a single cause. It’s more than a fundraiser—Relay is the American Cancer Society. Relay For Life allows us to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors, Remember those who have lost the battle and Fight Back against cancer.
Why 24 hours?
We are asking you to give a day out of your life for those who may not have another. There are similarities between the Relay For Life and a cancer patient’s experience: It may get really hot during the day, and you may feel like quitting, but you keep on walking. It may get windy and cold at night, it might event rain, but, you press on through the darkest hours knowing that the sun will come up and it will be a new day. Cancer never sleeps, so for on day, neither do we.
It’s Nationwide and It’s Growing!
You are part of something BIG. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the largest annual not-for-profit fundraising event in the world. In 2009, more than 3 million Relay participants heard the messages of the American Cancer Society in the United States, and the 500,000 survivors in attendance inspired us. Nearly 5,000 communities held Relay For Life events here in the United States and 23 foreign countries came aboard the Relay train as well.
The Time is Now!
The fight against cancer can’t wait or slow down even for one moment. We are making tremendous progress in our fight against cancer, but we will have a long way to go. Your involvement with the American Cancer Society is helping to save lives, and improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families.
