South Carolinians have an easy way to access information for the 2008 American Cancer Society�s Relay For Life events. www.screlayforlife.org is a website designed for the 2008 Relay season to provide details on the South Carolina Relay events throughout the state and also detailed information about the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life.
