Answer 1

Ask local businesses in your area if they are participating in the Relay for Life.  If they say yes, ask them if you can join their "team".  A team member will help raise money to donate to the Cancer refund.  The night of the event, there will be a designated location (ours at our local High School track).  Each team will have a booth set up to sell food or other items to help raise even more money than they did before the event.  During the event each team will be required to have at least one team member on the track walking to show their support.  Most last all night long.  While you are not walking, you can go around to other booths and play games they have set up or buy the food they have for sale. . . etc.  It is like a carnival.  There is also a time set aside to honor survivors and those who have passed.  My best advise to you would be to find out who in your community participates or find out who your local coordinator is.  Try doing a google search to find a site that may put you in touch with the coordinator.  Good luck!

Answer 2

The Relay for Life is the signature event for the American Cancer Society.  It is the most uplifting and positive event that I have seen for cancer.  It is an all night event, because cancer doesn't sleep.  It will be the most fun you can have in the middle of the night while doing something good too.  

You can also go to http://www.cancer.org and search for your local Relay for Life.  They should have a contact phone number and/or email for you to get involved!  Have fun and enjoy!

Answer 3

You get a big group of people, who are your team. Each member of your team is suppose to raise 100$. All the money goes to cancer research. At relay for life there is music, games, ceremony ( for cancer survirors/ and people who died from cancer) . It depends on where you live, to get involved.

You can go to http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/ and start your own team

I hope you do relay for life. Its for a good cause and its relay fun
