The American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life event takes place at several locations on the Jersey Shore in May and June. Each walk is an organized, overnight fundraising walk in which teams of people camp out and take turns walking around a track. Relay for life honors survivors, those who have been lost to cancer and those currently fighting it.

Each team is trying to meet a fundraising goal and holds fundraisers outside of the Relay event. Click on each location for links to participating teams or call call 1-800-227-2345.
