Over 600 participants will join together at the annual Relay For Life of Rutherford to help the American Cancer Society attack cancer from every angle.

“Cancer has taken too many members of my family and that is why I got involved with the Relay For Life movement. This event hosted in the Rutherford community gives me the opportunity to fight back in honor of my relatives who have been affected by this disease.” – Relay For Life of Rutherford Committee Member.

The American Cancer Society is the cause fighting cancer on every front; standing shoulder to shoulder with cancer patients and those supporting them. Funds raised help the American Cancer Society attack cancer in dozens of ways, each of them critical to achieving a world without cancer – from developing breakthrough therapies to building supportive communities, from providing empowering resources to deploying activists to raise awareness.

Founded by Dr. Gordy Klatt in Washington in 1985, the Relay For Life movement unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have been touched by cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action for lifesaving change. Symbolizing the battle waged around the clock by those facing cancer, the event can last up to 24 hours and empowers communities to take a stand against cancer.

In addition to the support of the community, Relay For Life of Rutherford is also supported by many local businesses and organizations.

Together, we can beat our biggest rival. Join or donate to the Relay For Life of Rutherford. Visit www.RelayForLife.org/RutherfordNJ for more information.
