At the 24-hour event, the team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track at the Haverford Reserve to raise money and awareness to "help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays," according to the team page.

"Saving lives from cancer starts one team, one participant, and one dollar at a time. Our team is doing our part to make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone’s life," according to the team page.

According to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life website:

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relayers do not have to walk all night, but each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.
