City of Upland 8th Annual Relay For Life
Time: 9:00a.m.-9:00a.m. 24-hour event
Location: Magnolia Park, 651 W. 15th St., Upland
Description: Relay For Life is a 24-hour community gathering where everyone can participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event – because cancer never sleeps. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Relay For Life brings together millions of people to raise money to help prevent cancer, save lives, and diminish suffering from the disease. While you’re raising much needed funds, you’ll also be raising awareness of cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and patient support. Relay brings people together from all walks of life with the common goal of eliminating cancer. No matter who you are, there’s a place for you at Relay. For more information, please contact Donna Gunn at (909) 767-5672.
