American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Chicago Heights

This years American Cancer Society Relay for Life will take place Saturday June 4th, 2011 at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights. Campsite setup begins at 4P and Event starts at 5P. All are welcome to attend.

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

At Relay, 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. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.
