EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – The community is invited to “Light Up the Fight!,” a drive-through luminaria event 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, April 17, 202 at the Tony Canale Training Center, 5033 English Creek Ave. The event is being organized by Relay for Life of Linwood, a program of the American Cancer Society.
