Relay For Life of UCLA
Relay For Life of UCLA is a campus fundraising event held at Drake Stadium on May 16, 2026. The event brings together the university community to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to end cancer.
The event celebrates cancer survivors, honors caregivers, remembers loved ones lost, and raises funds for prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship programs. As of the current listing, the event has raised $39,372 toward a goal of $80,000.
Event programming includes ceremonies, games, contests, and special activities tailored for survivors and caregivers. Additional features listed for the day include a campus 5K called the Race Within Relay and a Relay Robot Race with the theme Formula 1: Driven By Hope. Survivors register free of charge. Participants who registered and paid or fundraised at least $20 before April 16 qualified to receive a luminaria bag and an event t-shirt at check-in.
Fundraising incentives include a Campus T-Shirt option for a $25 fee, membership tiers for raising $1,000 (Grand Club) and $2,500 (All Star), and a points-based Relay Rewards program for redeeming fundraising points. Teams are expected to provide their own campsite equipment. Suggested items to bring include sunscreen, a hat, protective layers, appropriate footwear, a refillable water bottle, and any offline donations in a sealed envelope clearly labeled with the team or participant name.
