TRE NDSETTERS

Frogbridge Day Camp Continues to make a difference in the lives of children If you or a friend or neighbor have ever spent a summer at Frogbridge Day Camp, you know that are not only known for their incredible facili- ty, amazing programs, and mature and enthusiastic staff. They have also, through the years, become very well known for their work within our communities. Owner Frank Pugliese and his son, camp director J. R. have worked tire- lessly to teach the importance of giving back to those in need throughout our towns and schools. They call this program “Campers Helping Kids” and over their 20-year history have raised well over $50, 000 for various organizations including the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Juvenile Dia- betes Research Foundation, the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society, the Jar of Hope Foundation, Our Special Place, and even the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties where they filled an entire school bus with food following Hurricane Sandy. This summer’s fundraising efforts were a little more heartfelt than most others, due in part that 2 of their team members received unsettling news as camp began this summer. A young member of the Shapiro fam- ily, 2-year-old Jordyn was diagnosed with Acute Megakaryoblastic Leu- kemia (AMKL) and Frank and J.R. knew the need was there and it was time to act. They chose the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the very hospital caring for young Jordyn as this summer’s recipient. Calling this summer’s fundraising event, Jordyn’s Journey, the Frog- bridge campers, team members and families gathered together and raised a 20 year record $16,550 for children in need just like Jordyn at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Frank and J.R. purchased Jordyn’s Journey T shirts for many generous participants, and the Shapiro family donated bracelets as well. Next up for the Camper’s Helping Kids campaign is their annual Halloween toy drive which they call the Frogtoberfest. To date, Frogbridge has delivers over 8,00 toys to children’s hospitals and children in need throughout our communities. i i i i i i If you or a friend or neighbor have ever spent a summer at Frogbrid e Day Camp, you kn w that they are t ly f r t ir i re ible facili- ty, a azing programs, and mature and enthusiastic staff.
