A fundraiser for Janet Falcone-Cicchetti of Manalapan was held on March 8 at the Lanes at Sea Girt bowling center. It was a huge success and it was largely due to the generous donations from many local and not-so-local businesses.
First and foremost, we have to thank the management and staff of the Lanes at Sea Girt for their generosity and willingness to accommodate our every need. Without them there would have been no benefit. Also, Valente’s Italian Deli of Wall Township donated several trays of delicious food.
The staff and students of Manalapan High School and their Cancer Awareness Society donated over $400. Staff at the Hooper Avenue Elementary School, Toms River, donated over $100 as well.
The following business donated gift baskets or certificates for our gift auction:
Local businesses: Elite Gym, Bellisima Tans, both in Manalapan; Escondido’s, Solo Trattoria, Sam’s Club, Center Playhouse, and Battleview Orchards, all of Freehold; Delicious Orchards, Colts Neck; and Chapter House, Howell.
Out-of-area businesses:
Salt Creek Grille, Rumson; Hand and Stone Massage Spa, St. Stephen’s Green Public House and The Porch Restaurant, all in Spring Lake; The Creative Financial Group of New Jersey, Wall; John B. Wright Insurance, Manasquan; Jimmy’s Italian Restaurant, Asbury Park; The Papery, Sea Girt; and Food Circus Supermarkets (several Foodtown locations).
The amazing turnout of friends, neighbors and family who demonstrated their love and support of Janet by donations of time, food, money and gifts assured the success of the fundraiser. We cannot thank everyone enough.
