Jersey Express News Release
Madison, NJ - The Boys & Girls Clubs of W. Orange will host the Jersey Express Professional Basketball Teams final Press Conference and Meet & Greet on Wednesday, November 12th @ 4pm. The location is 242 Main Street, W. Orange, NJ; you can also contact the Club at 973-736-1282. We invite everyone to come and meet the Express, before the new season kicks off on Saturday, November 15th.
Established in 1911 the West Orange Community House is one of West Orange's oldest nonprofit organizations. In 1997 the Community House became an affiliate of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Annually, over 850 youngsters take part in the programs provided for youth ages 2 ½ to teens.
The new home of the Boys & Girls Club of West Orange sits adjacent to the Main Street facility, and the goal is to have young people participating in activities in the new building by the spring of 2010. "Walk for the Club" (a walk-a-thon) is scheduled for the spring of 2009, and will help raise money for the new Club. The Jersey Express is one of our Corporate Sponsors and the money raised through the tickets the Boys & Girls Club will generate, benefit our campaign to bring a Boys & Girls Club to downtown West Orange.
Paul Cito, Executive Director: "We are pleased and grateful to the NJ Express for their support as we work together to bring a Boys & Girls Club to downtown West Orange".
Heath Gertner, Program Director: "I am excited about the endless program possibilities our new club will have for young people.....Thank you NJ Express!"
"We are proud to partner with the W. Orange Boys & Girls Clubs. They will act as a ticketing location for the season, and funds raised thru there efforts, will help raise money for the new club. So, I encourage everyone to come out to the press conference and meet the players, and purchase your season, and individual game tickets; stated Marsha Blount, team President.
