American Cancer Society's Relay For Life
Relay for Life celebrates survivorship and raises money for American Cancer Society research and programs. Teams of runners and walkers gather at schools, fairgrounds or parks and take turns completing laps, trying to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
Relay for Life participants come together to share in the hope that those lost to cancer will be remembered, those who face cancer will be supported and cancer will be eliminated.
How the Relay for Life Works
Each year, SJ/C participates in fundraisers for the Chatham County Relay for Life and Liberty County Relay for Life with the American Cancer Society to increase awareness, celebrate cancer survivors and honor those who have lost their battle with cancer.
The health system sponsors a team of employees, support group members and families. Each team has a campsite that is decorated in a theme to represent hope, courage and strength for cancer patients. The funds raised during this event are used for research and to provide educational and support programs to cancer patients and their families.
