SCCC Relay for Life May 19-20

NEWTON — The American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life of Greater Sussex County will be held at Sussex County Community College (SCCC), May 19-20. There is still time for teams to start forming and to register. This year’s theme is "Rockin’ Relay." Relay For Life is a volunteer-driven, community event that allows participants from all walks of life - including cancer survivors, families, friends, corporations, civic organizations, schools, religious groups and concerned community members – to join together in the fight against cancer. The relay is a celebration where individuals and teams camp out and take turns walking or running around a track “relay” style. Registration begins at 2 p.m. The opening ceremony will begin at 4 p.m. with cancer survivors leading the way around the track with a Survivor Lap. After their lap, survivors will be honored with a complimentary dinner reception. At nightfall, participants light hundreds of luminaria candles around the track in a ceremony honoring cancer survivors as well as paying tribute to those lost to the disease.
