Join the 2012 Relay For Life of Euclid

Sneakers, sleeping bags and cancer education? It must be the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, an overnight event to celebrate survivorship and raise funds to help create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Relay For Life brings together teams from local businesses, schools, churches and families for fun, food, music and entertainment, and a night under the stars – all while team members take turns walking or running on a track. Relay For Life begins with a Cancer Survivors Lap and reception to celebrate life. Later in the evening, a Luminaria Ceremony honors those who are battling cancer and remembers those who have lost their fight. The monies raised from this event will go toward the American Cancer Society’s research, education, advocacy and patient service programs.

The 2012 Relay For Life of Euclid will be held at Euclid High School, beginning at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, June 9 and ending at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 10, 2012.

The Relay For Life of Euclid is looking for team captains, volunteers, cancer survivors, community leaders and sponsors to get involved in this signature fundraising event.

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.
