Cookie Decorating & Coffee Event Benefits Cancer Research In Long Valley

LONG VALLEY, NJ — During "Coffee House" a festive celebration hosted by the West Morris Relay For Life Committee, cookie decorating, trivia, music, snacks and more are all part of the fun for a good cause.

Scheduled for Dec. 15, the annual benefit festival will be held at Grace Lutheran Church, 65 East Main Street, Mendham Borough, from 6 to 9 p.m. Attendees can expect family-friendly holiday-themed activities and games, along with cookie and ornament decorating.

Tickets to the event cost $10; however, donations are also highly appreciated, officials said.

"Join West Morris High School students in raising money for the fight against cancer. This is a great way to spread holiday cheer while donating to the community," the Washington Township Police Department said.

Relay for Life honors everyone affected by cancer and seeks to honor and remember loved ones and survivors in the community.

During a committee presentation earlier this year at West Morris Central High School, advisers and students revealed that a total of $62,177 was raised during the 2022–23 academic year, with events concluding with the Relay for Life Walk at Mendham High School.

Fundraising during the 2022–23 school year was so successful that the American Cancer Society designated the school’s relay as a Rising Star Event, giving the effort national recognition.
