Football fans, except those who root for the Giants or Patriots are already showing signs of NFL withdrawal. This will be the first weekend without a game since pre-season play began in August and you’ll have to watch highlight shows, old games on the NFL Network or pull out a DVD to get your fix. However you can meet a couple of former and even a current football great this weekend during the Grand Opening of B&G Sports Memorabilia on Van Zile Road in Brick.
Former Giant running back Joe Morris and ex-Penn State star and Bills rookie linebacker Paul Posluszny will be on hand for a autograph signing Saturday while on Sunday it will be former Jet Joe Klecko as well as rising Ultimate Fighter Frank Edgar, who was a star wrestler at Toms River East. For more information on the grand opening events you can call (732) 451-0175.
Let me mention a few upcoming fundraisers:
On Saturday, February 9th there will be a benefit dinner and comedy show featuring Jeff Pirrami to benefit the family of Rich Petrosino, who recently passed away from cancer. The evening events will be held at the new American Legion Post building on Church Road in Toms River and for ticket information you can call (732) 232-3861.
A week later on Saturday, February 16th there will be an all-day benefit at High Velocity in Beachwood featuring some two dozen bands, dancers, singers and much more. It’s all to help 6-year old Savanna Winnie of Forked River who has leukemia. You can get more information on the festivities of the day by calling (732) 688-9240.
It’s not too early to mention the 15th Annual Law Enforcement Polar Bear Plunge, which is set for Saturday, February 23rd in Seaside Heights. The event benefits the Special Olympics in New Jersey and it’s the largest grossing single day fundraiser they run. Information and registration is available at www.njpolarplunge.sonj.org
