For 16 years, Cranford has hosted a Relay for Life, a walking event that raises funds for cancer research, education efforts, and critical services through the American Cancer Society.

The Cranford Relay For Life event is a community gathering where teams raise funds in the months leading up to the event. Cancer survivors are the celebrities of the event and walk the first lap to officially start the Relay. Each year, Cranford raises around $100,000.

Form a team with your troop today!
