Save the date because RELAY FOR LIFE of the East Bay is back! Saturday, August 3, 2024, at Chabot College in Hayward, from 10am-10pm. Relay for Life is dedicated to helping community’s team up to FIGHT CANCER! When we rally together we can accomplish anything! Relay for Life of the East Bay includes teams from Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro, and San Lorenzo which truly embraces our communities.

Relay is a nationwide fundraiser for the American Cancer Society (ACS). ACS provides FREE resources, support programs, wigs, transportation, and lodging, to people with cancer. It is a celebration of cancer survivors and caregivers, who are the heart of every Relay.

Did you know 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime? There are almost 17 million cancer survivors in the United States thanks, in part, to early cancer detection. Are you up-to-date with your annual mammogram? How about your colonoscopy? Did you know the only cancer vaccine is for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) which prevents 90% of HPV cancers? American Cancer Society offers smoking cessation resources so you can kick the habit. Smoking contributes to the number one cancer killer: lung cancer. Things you learn at www.cancer.org .
