Thank you so much to the entire Ridge Ranch School for providing food to our TCF families. We appreciate all your hard work. Our families are in such need at this time. We are so fortunate to have your school pick TCF to receive all of the wonderful food items. Thank you!!!
The youth of Temple Beth Rishon in Wyckoff, NJ held a collection of items needed by TCF. Youth Group Director Jana Schwartz, at right, brought in the large collection of games, puzzles, arts and crafts and colorful bandaids for the young patients. Thanks for the great gifts!
Ramsey High School students Rebecca Mass and Rob Archetti put their marketing skills to work. They selected TCF as the recipient of proceeds raised from their DECA Project for their Marketing II class. All their hard work helped to raise a total of $1,313 for TCF! With that donation, they purchased $1,000 in gift cards to be given to our teen patients and their families. A $25 gift card is the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, help a teen through a tough day of treatment or mark a special milestone. Thanks Rebecca and Rob – you get an A+ in our book!
Maria Lombardi of Lodi has once again collected blankets for all the children at TCF. Maria started the Michele Paci Blankets-4-Kids program in memory of her sister who died of cancer. In 5 years she has provided thousands of warm blankets for not only our patients but other pediatric patients within Hackensack University Medical Center. Maria has gained the support of individuals and groups within the community who have donated either purchased blankets and also hand knit or crocheted blankets. Cranford High School students created no-sew fleece blankets that they donated to the drive. Thanks Maria and all the donors for keeping our children warm!

Thanks to all the students at Bergen County Academies who created colorful origami icosahedrons for Tomorrows Children’s Fund. As part of their math class, the students took great care in folding paper to create these spiky decorations for our patients.
Rockaway Township National Junior Honor Society recently presented TCF with the proceeds from their Hope bracelet sale. The middle school students raised $2,920 in honor of their classmate Lenn who is a patient at Tomorrows Children.
