Relay for Life: How to Donate to Arcadia's Campaign Against Cancer

The annual event to raise money for cancer research will be held at Santa Anita Park this month.

Arcadia's Relay for Life campaign has already raised more than $33,000 to fight cancer and donors can make that number climb ahead of the event on June 15.

The relay will be held at Santa Anita Park and 289 participants have signed up as of Wednesday evening, according to the event's website.

"The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that helps our community celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease," the site reads. "Your reasons for getting involved in Relay For Life are as unique and special as the story that motivates you. Because of your support, we are creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays!"
