Relay for Life of Peoria is an all-night event, which will be April 24-25 at Peoria Sports Complex. Hundreds of people from various relay teams will be walking the baseball track all night to raise money for cancer research, education and awareness since “cancer never sleeps.” 

The theme, “Rockin ‘N Walkin in the Fight Against Cancer,” will also honor cancer survivors, who will take the initial victory lap to kick off the relay and honor the courage of family and friends who have defeated cancer, celebrate their victory and unite participants in hope.
