American Cancer Society RELAY FOR LIFE of Fairbanks
-
Teams of people (over 55 teams this year!) from all walks of life, camp out at WVHS Track and take turns walking or running around the track during the 24-hour event while having fun raising much needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment. One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The funds raised at Relay save lives by funding cutting-edge research, early detection and prevention education, advocacy efforts, and life-affirming patient services. It is because of your involvement that we are able to save lives, help those battling cancer, and empower all to fight back against the disease. Philosophy: The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
