The Luminaria Ceremony is one of the most special and moving events in the entire Relay for Life®, as everyone gathers together and luminaries (which are bags filled with sand and a candle) shine with brilliance under the softly lit starry sky, a moment of silence falls as the luminaries come to life with the names and stories of those who were lost to cancer, are fighting cancer, and rejoicing for those who have fought the disease and won

I'd like to meet:
One person can make a difference. Relay For Life® began in May of 1985 when Dr. Gordon Klatt, a colorectal surgeon, took the first step of his 24-hour run around a Tacoma, Washington track and raised $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. The following year, 220 supporters on 19 teams joined Dr. Klatt in this overnight event and Relay For Life® was born.
Since this time, Relay for Life® has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for research, education, advocacy, and patient services. It is the Society’s signature fundraising activity.
