It is a joint viewing party for a very exciting network television event celebrating the new ACS and SU2C partnership, and kicking off the event planning for our Division-leading Relay For Life event.

The event chairs this year are Patti Broccoli, James Finley and Linda Weber. They will be sharing information about exciting changes to the event for 2015, roles on the leadership team that need to be filled, and thanking all of the volunteers who have helped make this Relay the #1 event in the Eastern Division (all of NY and NJ) for the fourth year in a row.

The event brings together our communities, but also joins people from all generations and walks of life.
