Relay For Life is a unique, fun
way to raise money for the Jamaica Cancer Society while
increasing cancer awareness and celebrating
survivorship.
Information for the
Team Captain
Fighting cancer is a team effort. The strength of people
coming together for a common cause is greater than the
strength of one.
Relay For Life offers everyone in a community an
opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer.
Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park,
or fairground and take turns walking or running around a
track or path. Each team is asked to have a
representative on the track at all times during the
event. Relay is an overnight event, up to 24 hours in
length. The event brings communities together to learn
about and raise money for the fight against cancer. As a
Team Captain, responsible for recruiting walkers and
runners and making the connection between them and your
local American Cancer Society office, you are the heart
and soul of Relay For Life. Find a Relay and sign up to
be a team captain today.
Information for Donor
/ Sponsor
Relay For Life is a great way for corporations to
demonstrate their commitment to fighting cancer in the
community.
Relay For Life offers community-based sponsorship to
give you and your company or organization the
opportunity to show your commitment to the fight against
cancer. Various levels of exposure and benefits are
offered. For more information contact the community
Relay event you would like to support.
