Relay For Life is a fun and unique 24-hour event to increase cancer awareness in South Pasadena while raising much-needed funds for the American Cancer Society’s programs and services. Teams composed of up to 12 people formed by local businesses, community groups and individuals raise funds prior to the event.

At the relay, team members take turns walking or running around a track, relay-style and enjoy fun activities and entertainment off the track.

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature event, held in more than 4,800 communities across the country. In California, more than 300 communities will host Relay For Life events. 500 community members on over 40 teams are expected to participate in the event this year.

Relay For Life celebrates those who have survived cancer, remembers those who have lost the battle and gives communities an opportunity to fight back against a disease that takes too much. Funds raised go to the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving research, advocacy, education and free support services.

The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by saving lives, diminishing suffering and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Founded in 1913 and with national headquarters in Atlanta, the Society has 13 regional Divisions and local offices in 3,400 communities, involving millions of volunteers across the United States.
