WHAT IS RELAY FOR LIFE?In more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries, Relay For Life events comprise the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Each Relay For Life event is special to its community, but the movement’s true power lies in the combined commitment of thousands of participants, volunteers, and supporters to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer.

WHY WE FUNDRAISEEvery year, the Relay For Life movement raises more than $400 million. The American Cancer Society puts these donations to work, investing in groundbreaking research in every type of cancer and providing free information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers. We’re fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer, in your community and everyone else’s.

GREATER EMPLOYEE PRIDE AND LOYALTYYour company’s commitment to the health and well-being of others will inspire a sense of pride among your employees and encourage an improved internal image.

ENHANCED EXPOSUREYour company will enjoy positive exposure as volunteers and participants promote Relay For Life to their friends and colleagues. Your company’s name and logo can appear on a variety of promotional and media materials, depending on your level of sponsorship

NOW IS THE PERFECT TIMEIf you have ever looked into the eyes of someone with cancer, you know why the American Cancer Society is here and what we are fighting for. Thanks to incredible advances in science, cancer prevention, treatment, and lifestyle changes, we are now closer than ever before to conquering this disease. But we still have a long way to go.

• Cancer remains the #1 cause of death for people in their prime working years.

• Cancer accounts for three times the number of deaths caused by alcohol, car accidents, illegal drugs, suicide, homicide, fire and AIDS combined.

• Almost half of all Americans will develop cancer in their lifetime.
