Relay For Life is a unique, fun
way to raise money for the Jamaica Cancer Society while
increasing cancer awareness and celebrating
survivorship.
Survivor Activities
An Invitation to Relay
We invite all cancer survivors to
attend the opening ceremonies of the Jamaica Cancer
Society Relay For Life. We encourage you to enjoy the
day, make new friends, and celebrate! Relay For Life is
an overnight team event that increases awareness of
cancer in the community and raises much needed funds to
fight the disease. At Relay For Life, teams of friends,
neighbors, families, and coworkers commit to keeping at
least one member walking the track at all times—because
cancer never sleeps. Please join other survivors in the
inspirational Survivors Lap that officially begins our
annual Relay For Life. For many, the experience of
gathering together with other survivors is powerful and
moving. Your family and friends are invited to join you
during this celebration as well.
Luminaria Ceremony
When the sun goes down, hundreds of luminaria light the
way under the stars, and a moment of silence falls
during the Luminaria Ceremony of Hope. Luminaria are those glowing
bags that to the naked eye appear to be nothing more
than paper sacks filled with sand and candles. But upon
closer examination these sacks are actually like people,
each with a name and a story to tell. The Luminaria Ceremony is one of the most special and moving events of the
entire Relay. Everyone gathers around to remember those
lost to cancer, support those fighting cancer, and
rejoice with those who have fought the disease and won. Luminaria are available for a contribution to the
Jamaica Cancer Society.
