The American Cancer Society event is scheduled to take place June 7 at South River High School.
Relay for Life at South River High School is set to kickoff on June 7, and organizers are asking area residents to get involved in the fight against cancer. South River senior Danie Minor, 18, is helping to organize the event, which hits home for her. Minor herself was diagnosed with melanoma when she was in tenth-grade and Minor’s mother is a cancer survivor. “I am a cancer survivor myself and so is my mom,” Minor said. “There are a lot of cancer survivors in our area and I want everyone to know about them. We have a survivor lap during Relay for Life and seeing all the survivors walking is so empowering.

USA Today reported in June that more than 44 percent of teens who want summer jobs, can’t find one. But for local teen Danie Minor, she doesn’t just have a job—she loves it. Minor started working at the Rita’s in Crofton a few years ago on her 14th birthday. Since then, the Crofton resident and a senior at South River High, has turned that job into something she loves doing, even if it means missing out on summer fun. Unlike most Rita’s employees throughout the region, Minor’s responsibilities aren’t confined to making Rita’s Gelati, cleaning the floor or taking customer orders.
