The University of Kansas will hold its third Relay for Life from 6 tonight until 6 tomorrow morning at Memorial Stadium, said Mary Chappell, adviser for KU Relay for Life.
About 70 teams have signed up for the event, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, Chappell said.
The teams have raised about $70,000 so far, she said.

“It’s definitely one of the larger campus events,” Chappell said. “It really brings KU together as a community.”
The event starts with a cancer survivor’s walk, where area survivors will walk one lap around the track. After that, the individual teams will have one member walking on the track at all times until 6 the next morning, Chappell said.
Members not walking will have other events, contests and musical entertainment to help pass time, Chappell said.
People interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society can come to the stadium any time between 6 tonight and 6 a.m. tomorrow, Chappell said.
“We’ll never turn away money,” she said.
