Join UB’s Relay for Life team

The American Cancer Society and the UB Against Cancer chapter invite faculty, staff and students to join the UB team for the Relay For Life, a fundraiser for the cancer society being held March 26-27 in Alumni Arena, North Campus.

The theme for this year’s relay is “One World Against Cancer.” Each team is asked to pick a country and organize its “campsite” and fundraising activities around that country.

During the relay, individuals and teams camp out and take turns walking or running around a track “relay” style to raise funds to fight cancer. At nightfall, participants will light hundreds of luminaria around the track to honor cancer survivors, as well as remember those who have died from the disease.

The registration fee is $10 in advance and $20 at the door. Participants raising a minimum of $50 will receive a free event T-shirt.
