Dear Friends, Family, & Business Community,
We are writing to you to request your support for our annual community fundraiser for “Raising Hope for Others”. This year the fundraiser will support Tara Palaima. In February 2009, Tara was diagnosed with breast cancer and completed 8 rounds of chemotherapy followed by a lumpectomy and 33 rounds of radiation. While Tara was undergoing treatment, her position at work and health insurance
was eliminated. She has an accumulation of medical bills and requires additional testing. Monies raised will help to alleviate her financial burdens.
In addition, this year’s fundraiser will also support several organizations and foundations. A
donation will be made in Chad Michael Horne’s memory to Make a Wish Foundation. Chad was a
member of The First Presbyterian Church in Freehold and was tragically killed by a drunk driver. Chad
would have loved the idea of helping to make another child’s dream come true. A donation to The
Lustgarten Foundation, a pancreatic cancer research foundation, will help to advance the scientific and
medical research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer. The
Cancer Institute of New Jersey will also receive a donation from this year’s fundraiser. The donation
will fund the pediatric clinic to help children with their economic needs. The Phillip Frank Memorial
Scholarship is in the form of a $1,500.00 college scholarship issued to a Matawan High School graduating
senior in memory of Phillip Frank who died in Iraq serving his country. Another organization we
support is Manna House, a transitional shelter for women and children. The children are made to feel
wanted and loved thanks to Alex Berman who donates Build-A-Bears to each individual child as they
move into their new home.
Please consider joining Raising Hope for Others, Inc. at our house on Sunday, August 14, 2011
from 2:00 – 5:00 for an afternoon of FUNdraising and FUN. There will be activities for the entire family
(silent gift auction, dunking tank, petting zoo, and children’s crafts).
If you are unable to attend but would like to give a donation, please send it to 461 Tennent Road,
Manalapan, NJ 07726 and make checks payable to “Raising Hope for Others, Inc.” a 501(c)3 Charitable
Organization. All donations are being deposited in a segregated account with TD Bank and will be used to
support the above listed organizations and foundations. God Bless you & thank you in advance for your
support and donation.
With sincere thanks,
Laura Burke, Patrice Berman, & Helen Burke
