Relay For Life Video

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events and 18 hours in length.

Relay For Life began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington, ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Since then, Relay has grown from a single man’s passion to fight cancer into the world’s largest movement to end the disease. Each year, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 19 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, we are creating a world with more birthdays a world where cancer can’t claim another year of anyone’s life.

Anyone can participate in Relay For Life. Friends, families, neighbors, classmates, sports teams, etc., can form their own teams. No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay.

The only requirement to participate in Relay For Life is the $100 team commitment fee that is due upon registration. After that, anything you can raise through individual, team, or online fundraising is graciously accepted. It is recommended that each participant to set a personal goal to raise $100. If you raise more, that's even better. Even if you do not raise $100, you are still welcome to participate.

If you want to be part of Relay, you can start a team or join an existing team online. You can also make an online donation

Sponsorship Opportunities Now Available!

Fellow West Palm Beachers ,

I am very excited to be involved in next year’s Downtown West Palm Beach Relay for Life. The RFL is the ACS’s signature event and one of the top fundraising events in the world. It is a unique event that offers everyone in our community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Next year’s event is scheduled for May 21st and 22nd at the Meyer Amphitheatre. The event was originally created as a 24-hour event because cancer never sleeps. Our event is 18 hours, from sunset to sunrise, with various entertainment, presentations, and activities scheduled throughout the evening and into the dawn.

Sponsorship of our relay forms an association between your company and the ACS, the world’s largest and oldest voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer. It offers your company the opportunity to make a profound statement to your community and your employees.

We have many sponsorship levels – with our Gold Sponsorship at a mere $5K; all the way to a $250 sponsorship for Track Markers. I recognize that times are tough right now – but cancer doesn’t take a break for the economy and our battle goes on. This is a great chance to contribute to the fight against cancer in our community and encourage philanthropy and team spirit among your employees, customers, and colleagues.

Please take a moment to review the attached sponsorship proposal and think about the level of involvement that is best for your company. Also, get started forming your team! It’s an amazing way to build camaraderie within your organization!

I will be in touch soon to finalize everything. Thank you in advance for becoming a part of this powerful event!


Warm Regards,

Plans in the works!
