This day-long cancer awareness fundraiser benefits The American Cancer Society. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.

This is the official American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Anne Arundel MD page. Relay For Life is a fun‐filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of your American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community‐based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. We're fighting for a world with less cancer and more birthdays. State Fundraising Notices: cancer.org/aboutus/acspolicies/state‐fundraising‐notices
