Shared on behalf of the Lakehead University Relay for Life Committee

---

Relay for Life is back in town! On March 6, 2026, Lakehead University Relay for Life Committee is hosting its second Relay for Life! Relay for Life is a walk-a-thon-like fundraiser for raising awareness of cancer research, treatment, and advocacy. We are an official fundraiser in support of Canadian Cancer Society. All funds raised from our event are contributed to support various national CCS programs.

Last year, we raised nearly $7,000 after hosting our first ever event since the pandemic. This year, we are hoping to raise $10,000, and we need your help to achieve this goal together!

This year, our event will be held at the Lakehead University Hangar (955 Sanders Dr.) from 4 pm – 12 am. Participants do NOT have to stay for the entire duration! Participants are free to visit, and leave based on the schedule that works the best for them! We welcome everyone from our community, and participants do NOT have to be Lakehead student.

There is a $20 registration fee, which includes the event-access, food, and a t-shirt. This $20 fee also contributes toward our overall donation amount.

We also welcome cancer survivors, patients, and/or caregivers to join our event! We dedicate our events to everyone in our community who has been impacted by cancer, and we would love to have you at our Relay for Life event.
