Join the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Santa Clarita Valley this Saturday to fight against cancer.

From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. this Saturday, May 3, at Central Park, 27150  Bouquet Canyon Road, the community will rally together for a day filled with celebration,  remembrance, and action in the fight against cancer at Relay For Life of Santa Clarita Valley.

Participants can still register at the event website to join a team, start their own, or participate individually.

Relay For Life is more than just a fundraising walk – it’s a movement to celebrate survivors, honor  caregivers, remember loved ones lost, and raise critical funds to help end cancer as we know it, for  everyone.

Event highlights include an opening ceremony featuring a survivor lap and team lap at 9 a.m., live  music throughout the day, food trucks, themed laps, and a luminaria ceremony at 8 p.m.

This week also marks Gordy’s Give Back Day on May 1, a special day of giving inspired by Relay For Life founder, Dr. Gordy Klatt. Community members are encouraged to make a donation or  fundraise in honor of Gordy’s legacy and to help fuel the mission of the American Cancer Society  heading into Relay weekend. The first 100 registered Relay For Life participants who raise at least  $40 on May 1 will earn a “40 Years of Impact” pin to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the  very first Relay For Life when Klatt walked around a track for 24 hours, raising $27,000 for the  American Cancer Society in his community.

Every dollar raised helps provide free patient programs and services, including lodging Hope Lodge facilities for patients traveling far from home for treatment and rides to cancer-related appointments through the Road to Recovery program.
