American Cancer Society Relay for Life

Mark your calendar for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Marlton at Memorial Sports Complex, M2 Field 1040 Tuckerton Road. The family-friendly event will take place from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 3, 2023.

Relay for Life raises funds for the fight against cancer. More than a walk, the American Cancer Society Relay For Life brings together passionate supporters who embody the American Cancer Society mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

Participants celebrate people who have been touched by cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action for lifesaving change.

Cancer survivors are the guests of honor. They along with their caregivers will be featured at the opening ceremonies, in Survivor Lap around the track, and with a complimentary lunch reception. This year the survivor lunch will be held in the Blue Barn at noon. Survivors, caregivers, and all participants can register for the event at www.RelayForLife.org/ MarltonNJ.

Throughout the event, participants walk around the track to raise money for cancer. This year’s theme is “Relaying Through the Decades” to symbolize how far we have come over the years. Teams are encouraged to pick a decade and decorate their designated team area/ campsites.

In addition, there will be activities for all ages. Activities include Kickboxing, Zumba, Yoga, parade of teams, themed laps, and more. A special highlight is the Luminaria candlelight ceremony to honor survivors and to remember those lost to cancer. Luminaria candles line the track with names and pictures of loved ones. A full schedule of activities will be posted closer to the event at RelayforLife.org/MarltonNJ. Fighting cancer takes many things like research, free rides to chemo and lodging near hospitals, and our 24/7 helpline. But we can’t do any of that without you. Join Relay For Life, the largest, most inspiring, and supportive cancer fundraising event on the planet. Relay for Life is open to anyone who wants to participate.
