In the opening ceremony, Mayor Tony Perry spoke about the importance of this event and proclaimed June 11, 2022 as Relay for Life Day in Middletown. After the Survivor Lap and Caregiver Lap, Mayor Perry walked Middletown High School South's track alongside survivors, caregivers, and supporters.

Last Sunday, almost 800 people participated in Middletown-based nonprofit Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer's annual "Tutu Trot" 5K!
Although this is the 7th "Tutu Trot", this was the first one held in Middletown, NJ. The "Tutu Trot" originated in Trumbull, Connecticut in honor of kindergartener and cancer fighter Mia McCaffrey. This community event now takes place in both Trumbull and Middletown, bridging the gap between the two states and uniting everyone for an important cause. All money raised goes toward the Children's Brain Tumor Network.

Spotted Lanternflies Have Returned: Tips for How to Prevent the SpreadNow that summer is almost here, spotted lanternflies are back! The spotted lanternfly is a serious invasive pest that feeds on sap from over 70 different plant species. Spotted lanternflies can negatively impact our agriculture, economy, and everyday life through the honeydew they excrete, which eventually turns into mold.
According to the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA), Monmouth County is in the "spotted lanternfly quarantine zone". Since spotted lanternflies are currently hatching and will not develop their wings until July, the Middletown Health Department advises residents to kill and report them to the NJDA when spotted. The Middletown Health Department also encourages residents to utilize the NJDA's checklist for spotted lanternfly quarantine areas, in an effort to stop the spread.
Click HERE to read the NJDA's checklist.
