Relay for Life

Relay For Life® is sponsored by the American Cancer Society to bring more than 3.5 million people from 4,900 communities across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Relay For Life® is a fun-filled, overnight event that empowers everyone to help fight cancer by raising money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving mission. Teams of people camp out at Lake Benson Park and take turns walking or running around a track . Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relay For Life® symbolizes the hope that people lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face the disease have support, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

Each year, our church’s “Cooking for A Cure” team is a leader in Garner’s Relay for Life. Our annual BBQ Chicken Dinner is held each March and Relay for Life is normally the last weekend in April. In 2010, our team raised almost $33,000 of the $164,000+ raised at Garner Relay.
