A Light in the Darkness

Luminaria dedications honor those with cancer and raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

One of the highlights of Relay For Life is the lighting of luminaria honoring people who are struggling with or have lost their battle with cancer. The name of each person remembered is hand-written on a luminaria bag placed around the track where fundraisers walk all night long.

Relay For Life is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society that supports cancer research and programs for cancer survivors. Dedicating a luminaria for a loved one also supports these efforts. To dedicate a luminaria, click here.


Relay For Life will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 9, at the CCBC-Catonsville Stadium Track. For more information on the event, click here.
