Relay For Life at Virginia Tech returns! Join us on the Drillfield as we celebrate, remember and fight back for a cure! There will be lots of food, fun, entertainment, and most importantly, ceremonies to honor those who have been touched by cancer.
Relay For Life at Virginia Tech is a year-long, record-breaking fundraiser that benefits the American Cancer Society and culminates in this annual event. The Virginia Tech Relay is the largest collegiate Relay for Life in the nation, raising nearly half a million dollars for the American Cancer Society every year.
The event features food from numerous local restaurants, guest speakers and live performances from multiple bands and organizations, carnival games, dunk tank, bubble soccer, on-site fundraisers, yard games, competitions including Frozen T-shirt Competition, Benny's Eating Contest, Wing Eating Competition, scavenger hunt, silent auction and more!
In addition to the fun and games, we take time throughout the night to honor those who are fighting cancer and remember those who have lost their battles. We celebrate the strong survivors and build courage with our loved ones to fight back against this terrible disease.
All are encouraged to participate and the event is open to the public. You may sign up as an individual or with a team or campus organization.
The Registration Fee is $30.00 per person the day of the event. Cash, check or Venmo accepted. Some activities are additional costs such as the Food Waves. Donations are encouraged.

All proceeds benefit the The American Cancer Society, the largest non-government, not-for-profit funding source of cancer research in the United States.
