Relay For Life is a 24 hour walk-a-thon that raises funds for cancer research, raises cancer awarness, celebrates survivorship by bringing communties to together to participate in fun and games, health oriented exercises, watch movies, etc. Each team of individuals is asked that one person from their team walk on the track, so a team could rotate off people to walk the track. But each team must be represented on the track for 24 hours. This in a way gives light to the struggles that a cancer patient endures on a daily basis. In addition teams camp out for 24 hours as well.
My community service organization Circle K International has participated in Relay for Life since its existence at SFSU. I have been involved in the event for 3 years. Teams are asked to make the event more lively by dressing for a theme, holding barbecues on the lawns, playing games and participating in a large screening on a movie during the evening.
Relay For Life features musicians, martial arts teams, professors who speak of health and fitness, dancers, massage therapists and other individuals who add to the entertainment value of the event.
