A snowflake certificate was given to the staff member for whom the donation was made.
The foundation announced that more than $1,900 was raised through the Warm Wishes campaign.
The foundation also announced that it is moving its annual restaurant tasting event to the fall this year. The event will be held on Nov. 15 at The Excelsior in Manalapan.
