American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Eagan

Kayla Hansen, Neighbor
What is Relay For Life?

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Eagan is a 12 hour overnight event from 6PM to 6AM.  We honor cancer survivors and their caregivers for fighting this disease with such great perseverance.  We remember the loved ones we have lost to cancer, and we fight back against cancer by committing to a healthy lifestyle and actively advocating for cancer prevention and education.

We walk around the high school track to signify the long journey of a cancer patient, but we also have a variety of entertainment throught the night including music, yoga, fundraising activities, and even VIP areas and food tents.  Join us in the fun festivities!

One in three people will hear the words, "You have cancer" in his or her lifetime.  We want to see a world where future generations will never have to deal with this disease, so if you can, please help us reach our goal!  We would greatly appreciate it.  

This year, Relay For Life is starts on Friday, July 11th and ends on Saturday, July 12th.  Our goal is to raise $45,000 for the American Cancer Society.  Everyone in the community is invited!
