Have fun! Raise money! Fight Cancer! 
American Cancer Society 
Relay For Life of Falmouth 

Come Join the Fun… 
Become a Team Captain! 

Relay For Life is the signature fundraising activity of the American Cancer Society. Over 5000 Relay For Life events take place around world. Anyone can form a team - families, corporations, clubs, 
hospitals, churches, temples, and schools - and commit to raising funds in the fight against cancer! Teams of 8-15 people take turns walking around a track for a 18-24 hours. Entire communities come 
together through Relay to step up the fight against cancer. With the help of people like you, Relay For Life has become the largest fundraiser of its kind. Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings 
together more than 3.5 million people every year to: 

· Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors and caregivers inspires others to continue to fight. Survivors and caregivers receive special recognition by walking the first laps around the track at every Relay For Life. 

· Remember loved ones lost to the disease, as well as those currently battling cancer during our luminaria ceremony. Candles are placed in bags bearing the names of those who have, or had, cancer. When lit, hundreds of luminarias brighten the way for Relay walkers throughout the night in a heartfelt reminder of how cancer touches all of us. 

· Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease. Make a commitment to save lives by taking up the fight during our fight back ceremony. The Fight Back ceremony is an emotionally powerful ceremony whose purpose is to inspire Relay participants to take action 365 days a year!
