A Relay for Life event is divided into 3 zones. A spectacle zone, sports zone and catering zone. You only have to walk in the sports zone. You will stay in the sports zone for approximately one hour.
A team is a group of people who walk or run together for 24 hours. A team can be composed of family members, friends, colleagues, neighbours, an association, a sports club, etc.
Tap your team's imagination and organise non-contact activities and challenges to keep your counter ticking all year round! You'll see: it's just as enjoyable and motivating! Need inspiration to get you started? Can you paint, sculpt, knit...? Then create original works and sell them online. Or organise an auction on a website for second-hand goods. Or why not hold a quiz or poetry competition?

Aide/Help
You are entitled to a tax certificate once the following four conditions have been met:
- The donation must be paid on the website from YOUR OWN bank account, using payment reference “donation”.
- The donation is made without consideration. A consideration may be: participation in an activity or raffle, access to a concert or building, the supply of goods or services, display of your logo or any other form of advertising.
- The amount paid is a personal contribution and not the proceeds from a fundraiser.
- The sum total of all your donations combined in any given calendar year amounts to no less than € 40 (calendar year from January to December). The € 40 may have been donated in one or several transactions. Once these requirements are fulfilled, you qualify for a 45 % tax credit of the amount donated.
How much can I set off against tax?
If you donate 40 euro during any one calendar year, you will receive a tax certificate at the start of the subsequent calendar year. That certificate will entitle you to a tax credit of 45 % of the amount specified on the certificate. By way of example: if you donated 40 euro to the Foundation against Cancer in 2014, you will pay 18 euro less tax in 2015. So a donation of 40 euro will only end up ‘costing’ you 22 euro.

Credit Card (American Express, Mastercard, Visa, etc.)
- Payment information was incorrectly input: Please double-check that the name, expiration date, and CVV number on the card match what you had input in our system.
- Declined by financial institution (bank or Credit Card Company)
- Insufficient Funds
- Network problems
To expedite resolution and to determine the specific cause of payment failure, please contact your financial institution as soon as you are notified that a payment error has occurred.

1. Cache: sometimes you might not see your changes reflected immediately when viewing the site. Most of the time this can easily be resolved by purging your site’s cache.

3. If you forgot to check the box ‘Yes, my donation and message can be shown on the website and consequently on the internet’, please contact the chairman of your Relay to make your donation visible.
