Relay For Life at Virginia Tech
About
Relay For Life at Virginia Tech is a community-wide, campus-based movement dedicated to eliminating cancer by living out our motto, "Ut Prosim" (That I May Serve) as we strive to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. At Virginia Tech, our Relay is the largest collegiate event in the nation and has been since 2009. We are setting milestones and will continue to be leaders in this movement until we find a cure. For the past 12 years, we have raised roughly half a million dollars each year for the American Cancer Society. Since our inception at Tech in 2000-2001, we have raised over $6 million for a cure! Join us on the Drillfield on April 25th, 2025!
