NEPA Miners to participate in Relay For Life, 9am Saturday, June 9th to 9am Sunday, June 10th, Scranton Memorial Stadium.

Relay For LifeĀ® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in your community. At the event, we celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather at Scranton Memorial Stadium and take turns running or walking laps. Each team will try to keep at least one team member on the track for 24 hours. But, Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another.

During this event, we honor survivors during the Survivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminary Ceremony. We also celebrate life, friendship, and a chance to work together toward a cancer-free future. Relay For Life provides a perfect venue for sharing information about the American Cancer Society and its mission. Relay is conducted not simply to raise funds, but to involve all segments of your community in cancer education, give the Society a stronger presence in your area, and give your community the opportunity to understand and help achieve the Society’s mission.
