Spina Bifida Association of the Tri-State Region
On behalf of the Spina Bifida Association of the Tri-State Region, the board and staff, I would like to thank you for helping make our Stroll ‘n Roll for Spina Bifida a success this year.
This year, we raised a net total of over $18,500 with the help of you, our Premier sponsor, and also the walkers, wheelers, and participants who brought pledge money. These funds will enable us to continue providing much needed support and services to those living with spina bifida. We also reached another goal by having more families participate than ever before!
It was truly a pleasure working with you. Thank you again for your support and we look forward to working with you, our newest community neighbor, for our future events!
– Jane Horowitz, Executive Director, Spina Bifida Association of the Tri-State Region
Lynn Crest School
Once again, I would like to thank you for first, considering my entry in the “Scary Kitchen Contest”; second, choosing Lynn Crest School as one of the recipients of your generosity; and finally, following through on your commitment with the donation and installation of the cabinets and countertop. Everything went so smoothly, from my initial conversation with Andrea Gustafson to the quality installation; it was clear we were working with professionals. Your top rate company was the catalyst for a chain of kindness throughout our community (we received other donations from local businesses and many volunteers offered their help). This enabled us to transform our teachers’ kitchen/lounge into a very inviting room where our teachers can enjoy their break and where our Girl Scouts can learn and grow. The change has spread a contagious smile throughout the faculty and staff at Lynn Crest School. We are very proud of our new kitchen and we are very grateful to Kitchen Expo for the donation.

The Center for Great Expectations
All of us at the Center for Great Expectations wish you a very blessed Christmas. We are so grateful for your donation of the lovely cabinets and installation that are coming to our kitchen. We have been working very hard to shape up the residence since last May. Your donation of cabinets will complete our efforts and we are very appreciative.
Be assured of my prayers for you, your family and all who have been so helpful and generous at Kitchen Expo. I have shared our “Scary” kitchen story with so many people and they are quite impressed that you have responded with such generosity.

OGCC/Rhonda’s Club
Thank you very much for your generous contribution of $2,500 to OGCC/Rhonda’s Club at our fundraiser on the birthday of one of our beloved founders, Rhonda Oziel. What a wonderful event it was! Not only did we celebrate Rhonda’s spirit, we honored all of our sisters who valiantly brave the challenges and struggles of these debilitating diseases.
Your contribution honors one of our sisters and helps us with top researchers, clinicians, and survivors to share the latest information about new treatment options and scientific findings with local women with the disease.
Thank you once again. Your support helps the OGCC/Rhonda’s Club to undertake these activities that positively change the shape of these awful diseases. We are grateful for your support and expression of hope for the future. We have notified the Oziel family of your generous gift.

Somerset Hills Learning Institute
On behalf of the children at the Somerset Hills Learning Institute, I am writing to thank you for your total pledge of $30,000 to our Building Campaign. Our new permanent home will enable us to continue to fulfill our mission: to graduate students, whether to public school or the workplace, as independent, productive citizens.
As you know, a non-profit school for children with autism needs a remarkably wide and caring community to help our children she the symptoms of autism and become skillful social people. Your generosity will help build classrooms where students will learn to speak, indoor and outdoor recreation areas where they will learn to play, and areas to teach daily living skills where they will learn to become independent. Thank you for making all this and so much more possible. The Board of trustees and I appreciate your leadership and the role you have played in our future.

Once again, thank you and good wishes.

Kitchen Expo Contributes to Hurricane Sandy Relief Effort
While KitchenEXPO has helped thousands of satisfied customers renovate their kitchens, it is important to note that is has also been and continues to be an active participant in the community. Most recently, KitchenEXPO has committed a portion of sales proceeds to be earmarked to benefit those that need it most in the aftermath of the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy. Unfortunately, this help cannot wait until losses are tallied, insurance claims filed, or for newly realized homeless to find adequate shelter for their families.

United States Military personnel put their lives on the line every day and Kitchen Expo salutes their sacrifice and bravery. As part of our ongoing support, Kitchen Expo has donated bathroom and laundry room cabinets to help Monroe Township resident, Marine Lance Corporal Colin Pascik, who was wounded in Afghanistan in 2010. Pascik, a two-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, was wounded by an improvised explosive device. His injuries resulted in the amputation of both legs, one below the knee and one above the knee. During his recovery and rehabilitation at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Colin’s spirits have been unbelievably high and his positive attitude has been an example to all who meet him. Kitchen Expo is proud to support Colin’s efforts to return to a normal life and acknowledges all the men and women – here and abroad – who are serving in the United States Military.
