Relay for Life Team Names

It is that time of the year when people are scrambling to find teammates for the Annual Relay for Life. You have recruited willing participants, and before you can design your t-shirts, you need to come up with a creative name for your team. The prerequisite to selecting Relay for Life Team Names is to identify the theme for the current year, and apply it to the group you have recruited. For example, a tropical theme can be Castaway Cancer, or a bank's team can be Buried Treasures. Following are some themes, with related team names:
