Relay For Life of Idaho Falls


American Cancer Society's Relay For Life is an overnight community event, organized by volunteers that want to make a difference in the fight against cancer.  Family and friends, and co-workers and neighbors form teams, fundraising throughout the year leading up to the main event in July in Idaho Falls. At Relay, those teams host booths, special ceremonies and entertainment are arranged, and participants take turns walking a track to Celebrate and Remember those who have been affected by cancer, and Fight Back by fundraising for cancer research and patient resources.

Campsites, activities for kids, Luminaria, and more, Relayers are passionate about celebrating cancer survivors and fighting for every birthday threatened by cancer in every community. We have even created a mini-event, called Bark For Life, to include our furry canine caregivers while supporting of our life-saving mission. Rain or shine, survivors are the main reason we continue to Relay. They are the proof that we are making great strides in our fight to find a cure.
