Holiday Party and Shopping Spree
Sunday, December 8, 2024 - Target in Manalapan, NJ
This Holiday Season we hosted over 75 students at our annual Holiday Party and Shopping Sprees. The children spent the morning shopping for toys, singing Christmas carols and meeting Santa, who also took a photo with each child after giving them a gift! Thank you to Target, Peddie School and M&T Bank, as well as all of our additional volunteers and sponsors.
Inaugural Uniform Event
Thursday, September 19, 2024 - Freehold Learning Center, Freehold, NJ
Make A Smile is proud to initiate this new event in Freehold, providing school uniforms to children in need. We are proud to have partnered with M&T Bank and the Freehold Learning Center Elementary School. This was a true partnership of time by the volunteers and funding by Make A Smile. Make A Smile Board of Directors members Marty Davidoff and Brendan Rezny were in attendance to participate in this event along with volunteers from M&T Bank and the Freehold Learning Center.
Seventeen (17) children went on a mini scavenger hunt to find their uniforms in bright orange bags placed around the gymnasium with some assistance from the volunteers. All were very excited about the event. “I am very proud that this inaugural Uniform event went so well,” stated Make A Smile CEO, Marty Davidoff. “We look forward to adding this event to our repertoire alongside our Holiday Shopping Sprees, Spring Fling and Back to School events,” he continued.
Make A Smile is looking forward to hosting over 120 children at its upcoming Holiday Shopping Sprees coming up later this year.
