The Ashley Lauren Foundation: The goal of this Colts Neck, NJ non-profit is to ease the journey when pediatric cancer is diagnosed by providing direct financial assistance, material assistance, emotional support, support groups, outings & parties, advocacy, birthday and holiday gifts for the children and anything else that is needed to make their lives easier. On 12/13/14, they held their annual Christmas Party at the Colts Neck Inn Golf Club. We provided carolers, snow, a face painter and our usual Christmas Magic! Check out the video to see all those happy faces! For more information about this great charity, visit http://ashleylaurenfoundation.org/
2013 (Our inaugural year)
Our organization helped raise over 350 wrapped presents for the boys and girls being treated for cancer and blood disorders at The Valerie Center in Long Branch, NJ. The look on the faces of these kids that saw the amount of presents that only Santa could surely muster, was absolutely priceless! This is an amazing facility that treats the most wonderful and brave kids you would ever want to meet. Here is what happened that day...
