CINNAMINSON, NJ — The Cinnaminson Police Department will be selling T-Shirts to raise money for Relay for Life at the township’s National Night Out celebration on Tuesday night, Aug. 1. National Night Out is set for Tuesday, Aug. 1, 6 p.m.-9 p.m. at Memorial Park, with a fireworks show set for 9:15 p.m.

T-shirts will cost $14, and will range in size from youth small to XXXL. The police department said if it runs out of shirts that night, it will order more. Cinnaminson’s inaugural Relay for Life event is set for Saturday, Sept. 30, 6 p.m.-midnight at the Cinnaminson High School track.

The event chair is Cinnaminson Police Department School Resource Officer Michael Czarzasty. The Relay for Life Organization has set the township’s first year fundraising goal at $50,000. If the township meets its goal this year, it will be ‘endorsed’ for a second event next year.

JC Tours will provide busing from the Cinnaminson Middle School and Saint Charles Borromeo Church parking lots, police said. This will assist with parking congestion for the event.

Chris Stem will be there taking orders for his "Curbside Creations," a group that assists in making residents’ street addresses more visible for everyone including emergency personnel. Others that will participate include Case's Pork Roll and Able Equipment Rental.

National Night Out is an initiative in which people in towns across the country gather at their homes, on their streets and at their local community centers in recognition of their support of the community.

Local state and federal officials from 15,728 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide joined forces to celebrate the 33rd annual National Night Out (NNO) – a community crime and safety event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, ADT, Nextdoor.com, Association and Fun Flicks. Throughout the nation, along with the traditional ‘lights on’ and front porch vigils, there were tens of thousands of block parties, cookouts, and parades.
