Relay For Life is a grass roots, community-based team event. This event inside the University of Akron's Field House located across the street from Infocision football stadium.
Opening Ceremony
Time to get started. The event is kicks off the event by honoring everyone who's been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year's Relay season.
Survivor/Caregiver Walk
Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. Honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn't matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.
Luminaria Ceremony
During this ceremony everyone touched by cancer is represented with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It's a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.
Closing Ceremony
The closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It's a time to celebrate what what is accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
