Relay for Life Returns

Mark your calendars because Relay for Life of the East Bay is back! This year’s American Cancer Society fundraiser will be held on Saturday, September 24, from 10 am to 10 pm, at Chabot College in Hayward. The field will be packed as Relay for Life of Tri City (Newark, Union City, Fremont) will be joining us!

There are so many opportunities to help make this a successful fundraiser. Join a team, donate your time to help set up, attend or create a fundraiser, sponsor a team, submit your business card to be included in the event program, or come out the day of the event. This is a family friendly event with games, raffles, food, and more! This is a time where our communities come together to celebrate a family member or close friend who has cancer or to remember those who have left us.

Why do we Relay? We Relay because American Cancer Society provides cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors, free resources, whether it is cancer support groups, wigs, transportation, hotels, education, or a live person to talk to 24/7. We Relay to encourage cancer screenings to catch cancer early with mammograms, colonoscopies, and low dose CT imaging to detect lung cancer.
