Relay For Life of Santa Cruz is a community supported annual event held each July at Cabrillo College in Aptos. This American Cancer Society awareness event educates our community about lifestyle choices to prevent cancer and early cancer detection testing guidelines. The event also serves as a fundraiser to provide numerous services and programs to local cancer patients and to fund research to find cure.
Each year our community raises awareness of Relay For Life with a celebration day called Paint Our Town Purple and this year we will be celebrating county-wide on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.
