The Pat Flynn Spirit of Relay Awards are intended to honor and recognize those that embody the same spirit of Relay that the “Mother of Relay” – Pat Flynn – inspired in Relay participants around the world. She helped turn an idea into a movement that would reach countless communities, raising over $6.9 billion to fight cancer and save lives since the inception of this grassroots concept in 1985.

Awards can be nominated by fellow volunteers with support from ACS staff. The Nationwide Pat Flynn Spirit of Relay Award will be selected by the Nationwide American Cancer Society Fundraising Leadership Teams (Community and Campus).

There will be one Nationwide winner for Campus and Community in each nomination based category. Nominations can be submitted through this online form.
