Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci will kick off Nutley’s 6th Annual Relay for Life Event with a ceremony at the Nutley Recreation Annex Building, located at 65 Bloomfield Ave on January 25, 2012.  This kick off celebration is a huge milestone for Nutley.  Six years and a total of over $500,000.00 later, we anticipate 2012 our biggest fundraising year yet!

 

You can join the Nutley Department of Parks and Recreation on their mission to help find cures, raise funds and support the American Cancer Society by attending the kick off and learning more about our 6th Annual “Relay for Life Event” being held this Spring.

 

The Kick Off Event has been scheduled for January 25, 2012 at 6:30 p.m., at the Nutley Recreation Annex Building, 65 Bloomfield Ave.  The Kick Off is a great way to rally together and create an excitement within the community about this event.  “Make a positive impact in the lives of others and join us in celebrating the ability to find cures and give others hope.  All are welcome to join us, obligation free, for the Kick Off Celebration and learn more about this event” stated Commissioner Mauro G. Tucci. 

 

So many creative events and mini fundraisers and planned prior to the actual event that our fundraising goal is often met before our actual event. Last year, 100 teams of family, friends, students and co-workers raised over $130,000.00. “This is a Relay with great energy and activity in the community” stated Commissioner Tucci.  We are optimistic that this will be our best year yet with your help!!

 

“Relay for Life” has been scheduled to take place at DeMuro Park from May 18 – May 19, 2012.   Register your team today!! Visit www.RelayForLife.org/NutleyNJ to get started.
