In the past few years many NCRT members have taken part in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life which honors cancer victims while raising money to find a cure. Temple member Andrew Fierstein has captained his team LiveStrong to great success and many temple members have been a part of that. This year, with Andrew's support and blessing, and the help of our temple youth group, NCRT is sponsoring our own team, LiveStrong*NCRT. Our mission is to help the American Cancer Society, while raising our temple's profile within the community.  Together we can accomplish great things.

For those of you who have not been to a Relay, it is a wonderful community event.  In the spirit of tzedekah, it is mostly social with a little exercise and some truly touching moments.  We hope you will be a part of it in whatever way you can.
