Relay For Life

The Bethpage Community unite in the fight against cancer as they volunteer for the cancer fundraising event of the American Cancer Society. They raise money for cancer research, cancer patients, spread cancer awareness as they celebrate the lives of cancer survivors.

On May 31, 2008 - June 1st, over 1300 Bethpage residents took part in an over night Relay for Life 2008, and raised $145,000 for cancer research and honored cancer survivors and caretakers. This is their second year participating in this event. Survivors took the the very first lap and were then followed by all others who "relayed" around the Bethpage High School track to raise money and awareness.
