the Butterfly Garden –– a beautiful and serene place for remembrance and

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to this memorial. Please contribute any dollar amount that you wish towards t his memorial\, which remembers our fellow residents. The bench is expected to be installed later this year and will include a plaque in tribute to t hose we’ve lost.
\nThe unique Hanson Park benches are hand-made by a
craftsman in upstate New York. They were chosen as part of the original d
esign which envisioned a passive environmentally sensitive park along the
Rahway River.
\nTax-exempt contributions can be made by mailing a che
ck directly to HPC PO Box 542\, Cranford\, NJ 07016\, visiting our website
at www.hansonparkconservancy.com\, or t

The Union County Rugby Football Club\, located in New Je rsey\, has been in operation since 1974 and touts over 1\,000 club members from kindergarten age to adult. We offer both touch and tackle rugby team s that play year-round. The Club will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in three short years\, and we are beginning to fundraise and draw awarenes s to this monumental event. In addition to the 50th\, we are also preparin g to start a modified season\, our first since we lost 2 full seasons to t he Coronavirus Pandemic. Since we were not able to gather on the field las t year\, we have decided to host a virtual race encompassing all of the ru gby clubs in NJ to foster some friendly competition and to get people exci ted for the possible restart of competitive play this Spring.
\nChal lenge yourself to one (or multiple) of the virtual race options by logging your total accumulated mileage over a time frame of your choosing. (doesn ’t have to be done all at once & you can walk\, run\, or bike!)
\nIf you sign up for 2 races at the same time you will receive a 10% discount on your registration automatically.
\nThe Home Field Loop: 13.1 miles covers the same distance you would if you were to travel b etween all of the pitches Union County Rugby plays home games on. This wou ld take you from Rahway River Park in Rahway to Madison Avenue Park also i n Rahway\, to Unami Park in Cranford\, to Warinaco Park in Roselle\, and b ack to the start at Rahway River Park.
\nThe River Run: 42 miles is the combined distance of the two mightiest waterways running through Union County\, the Rahway River\, and the Elizabeth River.
\n< p>The Jersey Cup: 257 Miles is a daunting task\, but covers the same distance you would if you hopped in your car to tour all of the h ome pitches of New Jersey’s NINE rugby clubs. This route goes south to nor th and would take you from Jersey Shore to South Jersey to Monmouth to Pri nceton to Union to Bayonne to Morris to Montclair to North Jersey. This ev ent has its own special medal and shirt that are different from the Home F ield Loop and The River Run.\n\n

Event Details
\nRelay For Life is a grassroots\, comm unity-based team event.
\nAlthough every Relay For Life event is dif ferent\, they do have a few things in common.
\nEvent Schedule
\nTime to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who’s been affected by cancer and ever yone who has contributed to the success of this year’s Relay season.
\nSurvivors and Caregi vers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. We honor their stren gth and courage with every step they take. It doesn’t matter if you were d iagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago\, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.
\nDuring this ceremony\, we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer\, a surv ivor of cancer\, or support for a person still fighting the disease. It’s a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but a lso offers comfort and hope.
\n\n
Our closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It’s a time to cele brate what we’ve accomplished together and a time to unify for the work th at needs to be done moving forward.
