On June 17, 2006 CARES Foundation celebrated five years of expanded newborn
screening in New Jersey with “Celebrating Five Years of Saving Our Babies,”
which honored former Governor Donald T. DiFrancesco. The event, held at the Maplewood Country Club, Maplewood, NJ, was fantastically successful and featured a casino and raffle as well as silent and live auctions. In 2001, Governor DiFranceso signed an Executive Order that dramatically expanded newborn screening in New Jersey and set up a structure for future expansion. Because of this action, hundreds of New Jersey babies were saved. In addition to the awareness the event brought to New Jersey’s newborn screening program, attention was also brought to CARES and its mission of Research, Education and Support. Through the hard work of the Event Committee and our dedicated staff, CARES raised over $117,000 for its programs. This is due, in large part, to our wonderful corporate and private sponsors which include: Pfizer, Inc. Our sincerest gratitude goes to everyone who helped make our second major fundraiser such a tremendous success. We couldn’t have done it without you! |
