UPEI will be hosting its Relay for Life event on Friday, January 20, from 6:00 pm to midnight in the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

Relay For Life is a party with a purpose where we come together to fight cancer and save lives. It’s a fun and active event with live music, DJs, games, sports, and other activities to keep fellow students engaged and active throughout the event. But most importantly, students form relay teams to fundraise and take turns walking or running around the track, passing the baton to teammates to achieve personal or team distance goals and connect with others in this emotionally inspiring event.

Every dollar UPEI raises through Relay For Life helps the Canadian Cancer Society have more impact against more cancers than any other cancer charity in Canada.
