The Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity.  It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer.  Teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path.  Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.  Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.
     Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.  Team 329 has been a member of the Relay For Life in Patchogue-Medford since the year of its inception in 2007.  The team often has multiple members of the team who walk through the night.  In addition, the team takes part in the multiple dances and themed laps which are held through the evening.  Team 329 also performs large amounts of fundraising; in both 2007 and 2008, the team was able to raise over $500 for cancer research
