National Corporate Team Program

The National Corporate Team Program is an excellent way for businesses to participate in the world’s largest nonprofit fundraising event, while boosting employee morale and team-building skills.

This year we will celebrate Relay For Life® with 25 years of history. This is an opportune time to pay tribute to the founding members of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life National Corporate Team Program. In 2000, KPMG, Quest Diagnostics, AT&T, and Meijer committed to recruiting more than 50 teams, dedicating a volunteer leader, internally marketing Relay to their employees nationwide, and recognizing those results nationwide. It is these companies’ commitment early on in this program that have enabled the National Corporate Team Program to flourish. Today, the NCTP has 37 members and who have raised a collective $19 million to support the fight against cancer. Their support is crucial to our success in battling this disease.
