Relay For Life® is a fun-filled event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. At Shea Stadium, we celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather in the picnic area at the home of the New York Mets and take turns walking or running laps around the warning track. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
But, Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a day for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. During this event, we honor survivors during the Survivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminaria Ceremony. We also celebrate life, friendship, and a chance to work together toward a cancer-free future.
This event takes place annually if you are interested in particpating, volunteering or know a survivor we should include in our event please contact Leslie Orlovsky at the American Cancer Society, Eastern Division - Queens RegionRelay For Life of Shea Stadium, 97-77 Queens Boulevard, Suite 1110, Rego Park, NY 11374 (718) 263-2225, Ext. 26

Thanks for posting this wonderful video of the Shea Relay! As an eight year cancer survivor, I've attended numerous Relays in New York (including some at Shea) and two in front of the Capital Building in Washington, DC. I was delighted to spot my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson in the crowd at the 2:10 mark. My daughter is wearing the red rain jacket at lower right and holding my grandson. She's appears to be wiping his face. Thanks again for the video!! :-)
