The Coral Springs & Parkland Relay for LIfe will be held Saturday, April 6th, from 5PM to 10PM at Coral Glades Hight School.  We are looking for volunteers to help set up the 4 tents and immediate area around where the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department will be based. Setup starts at 3PM.

The actual event runs from 5 to 10.  You are welcome to stay for as much of the event as you wish.  The First Responder lap with the Coral Springs Pipes and Drums will take place at 6:40. The Luminaria Ceremony and Silent lap will start at 9:25.

We will also need help breaking down the tents at 10:00.  Please come out and support this wonderful event.

The purpose of the “My Brothers’ Burden” walk is to raise awareness for PTSD in the emergency services profession. This charitable organization is headed by retired Fire Fighter Tom “Bull” Hill who organizes walks to spread awareness to the losses suffered by those dealing with PTSD. Hill has organized walks throughout the State of Florida and is organizing this walk to honor the loss of those Fire Fighters locally that suffer from PTSD, with special attention to the recent loss of Detective Dan Cucchi, Fire Fighter Chad “Conner” Kuschel, and Coral Springs Fire Fighter Michael Matonak.

Assist distributing water to walkers coming from Station 80 to North Community Park. There will be 2 hydration stations.  One will be at Betti Stradling Park, and the second will be at North Community Park.

Please meet at Betti Stradling Park off of Coral Springs Drive for assignment.
