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 restaurants including Souvlaki, Starbucks, Waffle House, Jersey Mike's, Hello Bagel, Benny's, Chick-fil-A, Campus Cookies & more, games, guest speakers and live performances from multiple bands and organizations.
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 $15.00 per person. Each Food Wave is $12.00 per person and Food Waves are at 4:00 PM, 7:30 PM, 11:00 PM & 1:00 AM. Some activities are additional costs. Donations are encouraged.
