2024 #WhyIRelay Challenge
March 25-28, 2024*
This 4-day fundraising challenge will focus on reminding people of the reasons we all come together at Relay For Life; to celebrate, remember and fight back. The luminaria serves as a physical symbol of each person’s reason to Relay. During this challenge individuals will be asked to focus on selling luminaria and honoring each person’s reason to Relay. Because there is no perfect way to track luminaria donations, the tracking method of this challenge will be on dollars raised.
Community Relay For Life events with an event date January 1-August 31, 2024 are eligible for this challenge.
All campus Relay For Life events (regardless of event date) are eligible for this challenge.
*Fall community Relay For Life events will participate in the challenge August 5-8, 2024.
