Relay for Life is one of the country’s largest philanthropies, and Penn State hosts its own Relay right here on campus each year. Relay For Life 2017 will be held from noon April 8 to noon April 9. Students are encouraged to create a fundraising team with an organization or group of friends, and all money raised goes to the American Cancer Society. The event will be packed with live performances, games, and other activities. For more information on how to get involved, check out the event’s official website.
