Join the fight against cancer, as the community rallies together this Thursday at the Hannibal Riverfront to honor and remember loved ones and take action for lifesaving change. 

Due to the pandemic, Relay For Life events might look different but the passion and commitment to fight cancer is unchanged. 

A walk-through luminaria ceremony will be held between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m.  

Luminaria in memory or in honor of those who have been affected by cancer may be purchased in advance.  

Luminaria may be purchased online at http://www.relayforlife.org/marioncomo or by completing a Help Us Light The Riverfront form and mailing with a donation to Susan Berti, 813 W. Church, Palmyra, MO 63461.  

Make checks payable to the American Cancer Society.  

Luminaria will also be sold on site at the Hannibal Riverfront from 7 to 8 p.m.  

The health and safety of all guests and participants is the number one goal.  

Those who are feeling sick or have been recently exposed to someone who recently tested positive for COVID-19, should stay home. 

People who have underlying health conditions or taking medications that weaken the immune system, should talk to their healthcare provider before attending large gatherings. 

For more than 35 years, participants and volunteers across the world have come together and raised nearly $6.65 billion to save lives from cancer. 

Relay For Life continues to be more than just an event – it’s a movement, a community of like-minded survivors, caregivers, volunteers and participants who believe that the future can be free from cancer. 

Funds raised help the American Cancer Society conduct breakthrough research, provide 24/7 support for cancer patients and access to lifesaving screenings.
