SANTA MONICA RELAY FOR LIFE
The 2nd Annual American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is a unique 24-hour event to increase cancer awareness in Santa Monica while raising much needed funds for the American Cancer Society.
Where: Santa Monica College, Corsair Field 1900 Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica When: Saturday and Sunday, July 26th and 27th from 9 a.m. to 9 a.m.
The power of this Relay allows our community to grieve for those we have lost to cancer and to celebrate the lives of those who have successfully survived. It gives everyone, from the newly diagnosed patient to the caregivers of those who have struggled with the disease, an opportunity to be with others who have been touched by cancer. Further, it builds our community by rallying around a common cause while having fun at the same time.
Participants form teams of 12-24 people who walk or run around the track in shifts. Teams can be made up of friends, relatives, local businesses, hospitals, schools, churches and other organizations. Each team is asked to keep one member on the track at all times. Team registration fee is $150.00 and each team member is encouraged to raise a minimum of $100.00.
All cancer survivors, from those beginning their journeys to those who have emerged victorious, are encouraged to walk our opening lap and inspire everyone through their participation!
