Relay For Life Campaign Brings HOPE

Published May 7, 2025

Newport News Shipbuilding is committed to supporting the American Cancer Society to help fight for a world without cancer. The Relay For Life event symbolizes the ongoing battle against cancer, promoting healthy living, personal connections and serving as a beacon of hope for those affected by the disease.

Relay For Life is less than two weeks away. One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Your support is needed.
