The Relay for Life returns to Phoenixville for the seventh time on May 7-8 on the track at Phoenixville High School. Since 2004, Phoenixville residents and their family and friends have celebrated the loves of people who have battled cancer, remembered those who have lost their cancer battles and raised money to help the American Cancer Society continue their fight against cancer.

Saturday, March 27: Paint the Town Purple—Make a $10 donation to the American Cancer Society and receive a purple wristband to wear on the 27th. Showing the wristband at certain businesses in downtown Phoenixville that day will give you a special discount.
