Main Event - Relay for Life

Join us for this year's Relay for Life Main Event benefiting the American Cancer Society! The event will take place on April 19th from 3:00pm-8:00pm and will be held outdoors in the Student Union Plaza on the University of Tennessee campus. 

Taking part in this event is contributing to the larger mission to fund critical cancer research, patient support programs, and community health services. Volunteering would including event setup and operations to support cancer survivors, caregivers, and the Knoxville community. Responsibilities include helping teams and local participants check in, assisting nonprofit/vendor partners with setup, and facilitating activity stations.

An ongoing walk will take place during the entire event - because cancer never stops, so neither will we. The night will conclude with a meaningful luminaria ceremony to honor and remember those we have lost to cancer.  We hope you'll join us for a fun and impactful evening!
