Celebrate. Remember. Fight back.
Relay For Life is a global movement that brings communities together to celebrate cancer survivorship, remember loved ones lost and fight back against cancer.
Relay For Life is also a fun and moving overnight experience that raises vital funds for Cancer Council's research, prevention and support services.
Everyone is invited to join Relay For Life and help create a cancer free future by joining forces and teaming up to raise funds in the lead up to their local Relay For Life event.
Relay For Life is a chance for communities to recognise and celebrate those who have overcome cancer or are undergoing treatment, as well as the people who care for them. Relay also provides an opportunity to celebrate the memory of loved ones lost to cancer.
Thousands of Australians participate in over 200 Relays across Australia each year. Some people Relay in memory of a loved one lost to cancer. Some do it to show how proud they are at having survived cancer. Some do it to show they are strong enough to beat cancer. And some simply want to be involved and make a difference! Whatever your reasons, you’ll never forget your first Relay experience! You can read personal stories from Relayers to find out more.
Relay participants are encouraged to fundraise in the lead up to the event, with all money raised supporting Cancer Council's vital research, prevention and support services. You can find a bunch of fundraising tips on the Relay website, as well as some great useful downloads to help you promote your fundraising efforts to the masses.
Anyone and everyone!
Relay For Life events also rely on the generosity of volunteers. Check out the difference you can make by volunteering at Relay.
Team event
Relay For Life is a team event, filled with families and friends coming together to do their part to fight cancer. It's also a great opportunity to get your workplace together and form a corporate team.
Support and fight back
Individual and team fundraising gives you a project to focus on, especially if someone you know is or has been affected by cancer.
