Chair of the relay committee Ms Viv Corcoran said all residents were welcome at the fundraising event, which will start at 10.30am.

Light refreshments will be served following the launch.

"We already have five teams registered for the relay," Ms Corcoran said.

Ms Corcoran said the launch would provide information about the Peninsula Relay For Life.

"If you would like any tips or information, please don't hesitate to contact the committee."

Ms Corcoran encouraged participants to register online at www.relayforlife.org.au or contact 4336 4500.

Relay For Life is a community fundraising event to raise money for the Cancer Council NSW.

Teams of 10 to 15 people take turns to walk, run, skip or hop around the local oval over the course of one night.

In the lead up to the event teams fundraise money in their local community to go towards funding research, patient care and support and cancer prevention programs that benefit the community.
