MIT is hosting its first ever Relay For Life — a 12-hour overnight fundraiser for the American Cancer Society — from 6 p.m.-6 a.m. on March 12-13 at the Johnson Track.

Leading up to relay, all members of the MIT community are invited to form teams and raise money to support cancer research and patient care. Join us the relay for speeches, cancer awareness and prevention activities, a cappella and dance performances by student groups, a bounce house, yoga and athletics classes, food and much more.
