Relay for Life is a longstanding campus tradition hosted by the American Cancer Society student group. Now in its 17th year at Fredonia, the fundraiser brings together campus and community members in support of cancer patients and survivors, and to honor those lost.

The indoor track at Steele Hall will remain open during the event so attendees can participate in the walk while enjoying the festivities. Special ceremonies and selected musical tributes performed by artists performing as part of Fredchella will be held throughout the day. “We appreciate the participation from not only the campus, but people from the surrounding area who join us each year,” said Spolar. “Some community members will stay and visit and take in the entire event, while others come to campus, walk a few laps in reflection then leave. We welcome them all.”

Participants can register individually or as a team through the Relay for Life registration form.

This year's Relay for Life is part of the day-long Big Blue Bash spring celebration.
