How much of the profits from The American Cancer Society-Relay for Life goes towards administration costs?
Relay for Life, the signature event of the American Cancer Society, raised more than $8 million in Minnesota in fiscal 2005 as 50,000 people spent the night walking around tracks across the state. That money was pooled with all other sources of revenue, including other fundraisers and contributions. From that overall amount, about 80 percent was spent on research, activities and programs.





By law, charities have to report a spending ratio: how much of their overall expenses are spent on programs, administration and fundraising. But charities aren't required to break down those figures for individual fundraising events.
