Upcoming Charity Events

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County will hold one of their major annual fundraisers Friday night at the Crystal Point Yacht Club in Point Pleasant. “An Evening with the Stars Cocktail Party and Casino Night”
will feature a buffet dinner, beverages, dessert, cash bar, auctions and more…plus your $75 donation gets you chips to play casino games for prizes. Special invited guests expected to attend include football player turned announcer Tony Siragusa, ex-New York Jet Joe Klecko, former Devils hockey players Jim Dowd and Ken Daneyko, TV Anchor Jack Ford and author Mary Higgins Clark, who will be available to autograph books.

Friday’s event is in memory of “Jo Jo” Procopio, who was a staunch advocate and supporter for the work Big Brothers Big Sisters does in Ocean County. It’s not too late to purchase tickets for what should be a great night of entertainment…call the agency at (732) 905-5349.


The Jersey Shore Council-Boy Scouts of America will honor Vito Nardelli with their 13th annual Loyal Buffalo “Good Scout” Award next Wednesday (August 4th) at Six Flags Great Adventure. Nardelli is Executive Vice President and COO of OceanFirst Bank and there’s a good chance you’ve heard his voice on commercials that air on this radio station. A Wall Township resident, he is the former Chairman of the New Jersey State Chapter of the March of Dimes and President of the Jersey Shore Boy Scout Council. Among his affiliations are the New Brunswick Development Corporation, Catholic Charities, the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce and the Fordham University School of Business. Nardelli is a retired Lt. Colonel and JAG officer who served with the US Air Force Reserves. A pretty impressive resume for a man who oversees and directs all major bank business at OceanFirst.
Next Wednesday’s program at Six Flags will help raise funds for the Jersey Shore Council which serves some 11,000 scouts and volunteers. For information you can call (732) 349-1037.
