Relay for Life

Relay For Life® is the American Cancer Society's signature event that brings more than 3.5 million people from 4,900 communities across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Oakland fields a team each year in June to walk and display luminaries in honor of and in memory of those who have battled cancer.
