Relay for Life is a 12-hour walking relay in which teams (typically 8-10 people) participate and raise money for cancer research. One person from every team must be walking at all times. There will be raffles, auctions, games, music, food, and sleeping areas.
The Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks will provide mulch, tools, and trash pickup.
