A Relay to Celebrate Cancer Survivors and Caregivers

Join us in honoring cancer survivors and their caregivers at the Snohomish County Relay for Life. We encourage you to invite friends and family currently living with cancer or survivors to attend and join in the celebration.

At the event, all attendees are requested to line the track during the survivor lap and cheer on survivors. Bring noise makers, pom-poms, or anything that you would typically bring to a pep rally to show your support! Be sure to register ahead of time as a survivor to ensure a timely delivery of your survivor tee! The survivor lap will begin around 2:30 pm, followed by a survivor reception.
Caregivers are also an integral part of the cancer journey. After the Survivor Lap, caregivers are invited to join the survivors. A caregiver is a friend or family member that helped a person with cancer, regardless if they are still with us. It may even be a healthcare worker. Attendees are again asked to line the track and cheer for the caregivers! This lap will take place directly following our survivor lap.

ACS will also take time to remember those we have lost to cancer and reflect on the journey of those who have survived during the Luminaria Ceremony. As the sun sets, Relay teams will help light pre-made luminaria bags that are dedicated in honor or in memory of a loved one. If you would like to make a donation or fundraise with luminaria, you can do so here. The Luminaria ceremony will close out the evening and be our final few laps, beginning at approximately 9:30 pm.

We come together as a community to fight back against cancer. Invite your family and friends to attend the event and support you and your fellow Relayers fundraising efforts. Our theme this year is “Every Step Saves Lives.” Together as we walk the track and raise critical funds towards the ACS mission, we are fighting back against cancer and impacting the future for everyone.
