Join American Cancer Society on the Main Quad to fight cancer in fairytale land!
This event dubbed “Send Cancer to Neverland” or “Relay for Life” is an annual event held by UIUC’s American Cancer society to help raise money to put an end to cancer.
The event takes place April 20th on the Main Quad and will last form 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Relay for Life is not only a fundraiser, but also honors those who have had or passed from cancer.
The event includes a walk on the Quad and then a luminaria ceremony on the Quad.
Registration is $15 per person and it open to ALL age groups. Also, feel free to dress up as any fairytale themed character you wish!
If your group/you want to register, here are the steps:
Step 1: Search “University of Illinois Relay for Life” in your browser or go to the LinkTree on their instagram (@acsuiuc) and click the link in their bio
Step 2: Click “Join this Relay” and sign up
- You can create your own team or join a team! But please be on a team, don’t stay as an individual
- You can also click on a team and join that way too!
If you have decided to create your own team, there is an app that makes tracking your teams progress much easier. It is called “FUNdraising”, it is made through ACS and available in the app store.
