This year West Islip will be hosting its first ever Relay For Life event! Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event. It is a team based overnight event where team members will take turns walking the track. At Relay we aim to celebrate those who have won their battle, to remember all we have lost and to pledge to fight back against this horrible disease we call cancer.

We would like to invite you to join us in this inaugural event! You can sign up to be a team captain, join a previously existing team, or just come show your support the day of Relay. We would also like to extend a special invitation to anyone who is a cancer survivor to join us at our Survivor’s Reception which will be held immediately prior to the beginning of Relay at 5 PM underneath our Survivor’s Tent.
