Relay For Life (RFL) is a global movement founded in May 1985 by American Cancer Society in Tacoma, Washington. Since then, it has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising about US$5 billion to fight cancer. Close to 4 million participants took part in RFL across the globe annually, making it one of the world’s largest fundraisers. Singapore is the 25th member country to organise RFL. Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) aims to rally the local community to celebrate the lives of those who battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has taken many lives. It is also an excellent platform for cancer survivors, caregivers, and volunteers to be recognised, supported and connected via a strong support system. With a target outreach of 5,000 participants, this community event also seeks to raise $1,250,000 to fund various SCS programmes and services. To accomplish the objectives of Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back, RFL has three special segments during the event to express the importance of cancer journey

RFL event celebrates life and, most importantly, cancer survivors' victory over the disease. The event also recognises and celebrate caregivers, who give time, love, and support to their friends, family, neighbours, and co-workers facing cancer.

Candles are lit inside personalised bags as glowing tributes to those who have been affected by cancer. To remember people, we have lost to cancer, honour people who have fought cancer in the past, and support those whose fights continue. There will be a Luminaria bag gallery at RFL 2023 to showcase participants designs and messages to their loved ones. Participants may also dedicate luminaria bags via our website here.

This emotionally powerful ceremony inspires Relay For Life participants to take action. It symbolises the emotional commitment each of us can make in the fight against cancer. The action taken represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones & for our community to fight cancer all year-round and commit to saving lives.
