Luminaries

The Relay for Life opens as cancer survivors walk, run or wheel chair the first lap. Cancer Survivors from all over the community are encouraged to join us in a celebration of their victory. This is an emotional time and sets the stage for the importance of each participant's contribution. The luminary ceremony is another highlight of the event: the ceremony is held after dark to honor cancer survivors and to remember those who have lost their battle against cancer. These luminaries line the track and are left burning through out the night remind participants of the incredible importance of their contribution.

When the sun goes down on a Relay For Life event, luminaries light up the sky in honor of those who have fought the battle against cancer. These luminaries line the track and are left burning through out the night to remind participants of the importance of their contribution and to symbolize the hope and perseverance with which we must all continue to fight.
