Rox-THON 2021 is almost here!
Help Support the Fight Against Pediatric Cancer
Roxbury High School’s Rox-THON is Friday, May 21st and will run from 5-8 p.m. for students in grades 9-12 with a capacity of 150 students. The event will be outside and feature different covid-friendly games/activities and will feature music and an hourly “line dance”.
The high school club was founded with the ideals of supporting families and donating funds for pediatric cancer and this year the determination to continue with the cause has been unwavering.
“The event will certainly look different compared to previous years, but we’re excited to continue supporting this cause. It’s important to remember that while the world shut down over the last year, families continued to hear the devasting news that “your child has cancer”. We are hoping to spread the word and encourage our community to support this worthwhile cause,” shared Rox-THON advisor Mike Gottfried.
“We’re also looking into the option of livestreaming parts of our event: our welcome and “family hour”, which features guest speakers including Senator Bucco, Chrissy Aulenbach (former district employee who lost her son Henry in December 2019), Kelly Blanchette (Child Life Specialist at the Valerie Center at Goryeb Children’s Hospital), and Willow Bradley (current senior whose sister passed away from cancer this past year).”
Over $300,000 has been raised in the past seven years with the majority of the efforts generated by student leadership.
Click here to help support this cause or to purchase a 2021 Rox-THON t-shirt or send a check (made payable to “RHS Rox-THON”) to Roxbury High School Attn: Mike Gottfried, 1 Bryant Dr. Succasunna, NJ 07876.

School Community Asset Map - You Can Help!
As part of our initiative to maintain Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification, we continuously need to update our Community Asset Map. This is a collective inventory of the positive and valued aspects of a community by identifying the places, institutions, programs, and people that contribute to making our communities great places to learn and live.
Community assets can include information on local artists, scientists, and other experts, parks, local historic buildings, and green businesses, but can also include resources like cultural activities and events, arts, cultural and service organizations, social service agencies, and community organizations that are part of the great community context.
We've come up with over 700 businesses, restaurants, educational institutions, medical facilities, transportation hubs, and community organizations since 2018, but we need your help up in updating this list as we know things are ever-changing.
Please take a few minutes and jot down a few places and/or groups that you can think of to help round out our list. Click here for more information regarding the Roxbury Community Asset Map and how you can contribute.

The one-mile walks will take place in Clinton, Denville, Madison and Robbinsville.
The event is designed to inform the public that the problems people face with mental illness and substance use disorders are not subjects of shame or embarrassment but are medical issues that can be addressed and treated.

The first 150 people to register at each site will receive a free T-Shirt and face mask. People may register at here.
To learn more about the Rotary Stigma-Free initiative, please contact District Governor Ann Walko at edudoc98@aol.com or 908-410-7251. Click here to read more from the Roxbury Register.
