Relay For Life of Thurston County, Presented by Peak Credit Union, invites you to the 2026 Relay For Life of Thurston County Kick Off Celebration. Enjoy a delicious breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and sausage and launch the 2026 Relay season with activities, music, and more at the West Olympia Applebee’s Saturday, February 7, 2026 9-10:30am.
This family‑friendly morning is the perfect opportunity to learn what Relay For Life is all about — whether you’re a cancer survivor, a caregiver, or simply curious about how to get involved. Relay For Life is the premier fundraising event of the American Cancer Society, supporting groundbreaking cancer research and patient programs right here in our local community.
For more than four decades, Relay For Life of Thurston County has brought together survivors, caregivers, families, schools, businesses, and civic groups in a powerful movement of hope. Our local Relay has raised millions of dollars over the years, funding transportation assistance, lodging programs, research grants, and community education efforts that have a direct effect on those facing cancer.
The Kick Off Celebration is free with an RSVP at 2026 Relay For Life of Thurston County Kickoff Pancake Breakfast RSVP or $5 at the door. All proceeds support the American Cancer Society’s mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
