16th Annual Cheshire Relay for Life

More than 70 teams will walk the track at Cheshire High School.

One of the best past times at Relay is to take note of the imaginative names of teams. This year is no different:

  • Curemit the Frog
  • Juicy Cureture
  • Spongebob Curepants
  • Herecureles
  • Curley Fries

The hundreds of volunteers and supporters of the annual American Cancer Society event have already raised about $172,000. 

This year's Luminaria Ceremony is dedicated to Beth Tenebaum who died in January, 10 years after being diagnosed with cancer. Her mother, Natalie Feingold is the Caregiver Speaker. The Survivor Speaker is Heather Musante Mitchell.
