Relay for Life of Adams County benefitting American Cancer Society

Relay starts with a Survivor’s Lap – an inspirational time when survivors are invited to circle the track together and help everyone celebrate the victories achieved over cancer. The Survivor’s Lap is an emotional example of how Relay participants are creating a world with more birthdays like those of each individual on the track.

Remember – The Luminaria Ceremony

After dark we honor people who have been touched by cancer and remember loved ones lost to the disease during the Luminaria Ceremony. Candles are lit inside bags filled with sand and placed around the pond. Each bag bears the name of a person touched by cancer.

Fight Back – The Fight Back Ceremony

On Saturday we conduct our Fight Back Ceremony where we make a personal commitment to save lives by taking up the fight against cancer.
