Relay For Life is an overnight fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It helps to raise funds for research as well as programs and services for your local community. It celebrates survivors, remembers those we have lost to cancer, and helps us fight back against this horrible disease. 1 in every 100 Americans participates in a Relay and there is one happening in Lincoln this spring. The American Cancer Society is a nation-wide, community-based organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering through research, education, advocacy and service.
