ANONYMOUS DONOR KICK-STARTS 2007 FUNDRAISING GALA

Shrewsbury, NJ--Inspired by the success of the 2006 matching donor challenge, an anonymous donor has again pledged a challenge grant to Family Resource Associates to kick-start the 2007 fundraising gala scheduled for Friday, March 30th at Branches. The donor will match (dollar-for-dollar) each donation for the event up to $10,000 (total) including sponsorships and underwriters, donation or purchase of silent auction items, and ads placed in the journal.

“Opportunities like this are rare, and for a not-for-profit agency like FRA that depends upon the public for support, it’s a wonderful chance to raise additional funds to help even more children,” said Linda Magill, Director of Development for FRA.

The gala is an annual fundraising tradition at FRA and the 2007 theme is Baubles, Bangles, & Beads…a night of dinner, dancing and the best blues band at the Jersey Shore. Music will be provided by the Chuck Lambert Band, (www.chucklambert.com), winner of the 2006 Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation “Battle of the Bands” in October. In February, the band will be traveling to Memphis, Tennessee to compete in the International Blues Challenge.

Since its inception in 1979, FRA has helped over 10,000 children with disabilities through home-based early intervention for infants, therapeutic recreation programs, family and sibling support groups and assistive technology services through FRA’s TECHConnection computer lab.

With the opening of the TECHConnection in 1988, FRA emerged as a national leader in the field of assistive technology. Giving children and adults with special needs access to computer technology increases their independence and opens a world of learning possibilities.

Information on the gala can be found at www.frainc.org or contact, Nancy Phalanukorn, Executive Director, at 732-747-5310.
