Relay For Life of Cranford
American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of Cranford invites the community to join the movement to honor and remember loved ones and fight back for lifesaving change on Friday May 20th, 2022 (5 p.m. to midnight) at Orange Avenue School (901 Orange Ave, Cranford, NJ). Community volunteers are the backbone of this movement which includes cancer survivors, caregivers, local citizens, and participants who believe that the future can be free from cancer and own the power to make that change.
This year’s event will feature music and entertainment by Bushwick Sounds Productions, along with games, food, and activities for all!
For more than 35 years, Relay For Life has joined communities together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors of all cancers, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer. Dollars raised each year by over 500,000 Relay participants across the country help attack all cancers in countless ways – funding and conducting breakthrough research, providing education, advocating for the needs of cancer patients and their families, and providing essential services throughout their cancer journey.
There are many ways to get involved!
