Relay For Life Award Announcement Week Starts January 13th

We’re thrilled to announce that the winners of the 2024 Pat Flynn Spirit of Relay Awards will be revealed January 13-15, 2025!

These prestigious awards honor those who embody the same passion and dedication that Pat Flynn, the “Mother of Relay,” inspired in Relay For Life participants around the world. Thanks to her vision, what began as a grassroots idea in 1985 grew into a global movement, raising over $7 billion to fight cancer and save lives.


Join us for daily video announcements on the Relay For Life ELT Facebook page and on YouTube, with recaps available on ACSResources.org/relayforlife (right here!). Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the incredible individuals and teams who continue to lead the way as we work to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
