Relay For Life of Fond du Lac is holding their annual fundraiser for cancer research today, August 4, 2023 in Lakeside Park on Oven Island.

The event kicks off at 4 PM with a survivor lap, where those that are currently dealing with, or have beat cancer, walk around a predetermined path.

After the survivor lap, caregivers and family members can join in for a second lap.

As the sun sets, Relay teams light pre-made luminaria bags that are dedicated in honor or in memory of a loved one taken by cancer.

For more than 35 years, communities around the world have come together to raise funds for a future free from cancer in Relay For Life fundraisers. According to the American Cancer Society, Relay For Life is one of the largest peer-to-peer fundraising events in the world.
