Searching for a way to make a difference in your community? Looking to have some fun while doing it?

Relay for Life is a powerful journey to aid someone's fight against cancer. The relay helps raise money for research and programs of the American Cancer Society.

During Relay for Life of Cayuga County, teams will gather at Holland Stadium and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one person on the track at all times.

Each team collects sponsors and donations that go towards the American Cancer Society's efforts to eradicate this devastating disease.

Each step is a powerful display of the courage to beat this disease and the support of an entire community to help those suffering to prevail. To donate your time for Relay For Life of Cayuga County as either a walker/runner or as a volunteer, contact the Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce or local chairpersons Lisa Giannone or Kelley Gridley of Tompkins Trust Co.

This year's area sponsors include Coburn Design, First Niagara, Key Bank, NUCOR Steel and Tompkins Trust Co. in combination with the volunteer efforts of IGNITE this year's goals are within reach.
