Rothesay High School is proud to host its very first Relay For Life event—a meaningful and inspiring day dedicated to coming together in the fight against cancer. Relay For Life is a community celebration that honours survivors, remembers loved ones, and supports those currently facing cancer, all while raising vital funds for life-saving research and support programs.
Participants will be walking the track together throughout the day, symbolizing the ongoing journey of those affected by cancer and showing that no one faces it alone.
This year, our goal is to raise $10,000 in support of the Canadian Cancer Society, helping to fund groundbreaking research, patient services, and advocacy efforts across the country.
The event will be filled with energy, hope, and plenty of fun for all ages. Families can enjoy a wide range of activities including bouncy castles, face painting, water games, and more, making it a day that brings the whole community together for an important cause.
Participants are required to register in advance through the event website, so be sure to sign up and secure your spot. A registration fee of $20 will be required of every participant which covers meals, snacks, beverages, and a t-shirt. Additionally, we encourage every team to fundraise an additional $100 to help us secure our goal.
Join us and create your relay team as we take our first steps as a community in this powerful movement—celebrating strength, supporting one another, and making a difference.
Follow us @rhsrelayforlife on Instagram from updates!

In case of rain, the event will be held at the Rothesay High School Gym, at 61 Hampton Road.
