McMaster Relay For Life

McMaster's Relay for Life event is very popular and brings a lot of awareness around campus. It is a celebration of survival, a tribute to the lives of loved ones and a night of fun, friendship and fundraising to beat cancer.

How does it work? Teams of 10 people (students, faculty, family and friends) participate in a 12-hour, overnight, non-competitive relay on campus (at the Ivor Wynne Centre).

To date, the group has raised over $100,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.


You're able to participate!

To register online, please visit the Relay For Life page on www.cancer.ca, (under Event Locations, select School Events- McMaster University)

Note: There is a $10 registration fee per participant

I'm going to be doing this event for the first time this year, and I'm soooooo excited!

I highly suggest if you're interested to contact the exec (they're awesome), and get some friends to participate too!

Their website appears to not be working right now :( ..its a great cause though! I suggest joining the Facebook group

Are they doing this again this year???? I got all excited when I saw this post before I realized it was for last year (I'm not always so good with the whole year transition thing....) I really hope its going again! If it is, is there an organization committee we can join????

Hey we sure are-the 4th annual MAC Relay for Life will be Friday March 20th 2009 at the Ivor Wynne Center. The Exec Team for this year has already been decided but we are always looking for volunteers and we will be starting subcommittees in Promotions & Fundraising. Feel free to email us [email protected] for more info and join our facebook group: Relay for Life 2008
