American Cancer Society Casino Night

The Jersey Shore Region of the American Cancer Society will host a Casino Night on Friday, March 27th as part of their Tides of Change gala at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Lakewood. The event will honor three individuals and a local company for the impact they have had in the fight against cancer in our area and someone who certainly fits that description is Tim Ryan of Timothy E. Ryan Home for Funerals. He will be saluted as “Humanitarian of the Year” which is an appropriate honor for a businessman who has supported many organizations and causes and truly understands what its like to give back. Lacey Township Mayor Dave Most and Tom Hayes of New Jersey Natural Gas are being honored as “Volunteers of the Year” and the accounting and consulting firm of Cowan Gunteski & Company have been named “Corporate Visionary.”

The evening will celebrate their contributions to the community and commitment to the cause and mission of the American Cancer Society and proceeds from the evening will help local programs as well as research on a national basis. For information on the Casino Night, including tickets and advertising you can call (732) 818-3517.

Belated congratulations to the girl’s basketball teams from Jackson Memorial and Southern Regional as they will share the Class A South Divisional Championship. The Rams Kathy Snyder is the dean of shore conference coaches as this is her 30th season behind the Southern bench. Rachel Goodale is in her 8th season with the Jaguars and with a young team look for Jackson to be a real force again next winter. Both teams hope to make their mark in the Shore Conference and NJSIAA Tournaments.
