In a grand effort to raise much needed funds for The American Cancer Society, nine communities will come together to create one impressive Relay For Life event. The communities of Bartlett, Bloomingdale, Elk Grove, Glendale Heights, Hanover Park, Itasca, Medinah, Roselle and Streamwood in a joint community effort will take up the fight against cancer.

Relay For Life is a tribute to those who have been lost to cancer, a celebration of those who have survived cancer, and a hope for those currently face cancer that one day through our fundraising efforts cancer will be eliminated. This team-based event gives friends, families, and coworkers the opportunity to raise funds . The funds raised at Relay For Life are used by the American Cancer Society for cancer research, education and early detection programs, advocacy and local services and support programs for cancer patients and their caregivers.

Please join for the Relay For Life of Northern DuPage Kick-Off Celebration. It's here that you can learn about the many volunteer opportunities as well as how to form your own Relay For Life team.
