This year’s event is a combination of the two relays traditionally hosted in Gloucester County
Until this year, Gloucester County has hosted two American Cancer Society Relay For Life events, one in Washington Township and another in Mullica Hill.
This year, that is changing. On June 8, the merger of the two events will commence and is dubbed Relay For Life of Gloucester County at Clearview.
Every year and at every Relay For Life event across the globe, a dollar goal is set. The money raised from each event goes toward cancer research, education and prevention efforts, creating information services, the 24-hour cancer hotline and more. With the merger of the two county events, the Gloucester County at Clearview relay aims to bring in $80,000.
Mullica Hill’s 2017 relay raised $40,500 while the event in Washington Township banked $75,000.
