How to get Involved with Relay for Life
My personal tips to you!
1. Sign up - Join a team
2. Raise money
3. Come to Relay Meetings
4. Every Penny counts

“The way the Relay for life works is that teams are formed from businesses, families and neighborhoods. They each raise money in their own independent way. Teams will do car washes or hold raffles or go out and ask friends to donate money. Teams are very innovative. “

“Goodbyes are not forever, goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you, until we meet again.”
