Relay for Life Luminarias

By Jennifer Ersalesi

At the Relay for Life of Clifton and Rutherford Event on Sunday, May 23rd from 7:30-9:30 pm, community members can dedicate a luminaria bag to honor a loved one, which will be lit with hundreds of others during a special tribute. The luminaria bags will line the steps of Borough Hall in Rutherford in honor of those affected by cancer. Pre-registration is required to participate in the drive-through to see the luminarias; register here. Individuals must also register here for a specific time slot.
