Please open your hearts and your generous spirit to help us change lives for the better.  You can make a difference!  The CHRISTOPHER J. MORRISSEY FOUNDATION, INC. will be hosting its 8th Annual Cocktail/Dinner Benefit to raise funds for the coming year.  Our goal is to raise money to assist families affected by the loss of a child through grief counseling services, financial assistance, burial funds, and retreats.  In addition, we have formed partnerships with organizations to promote early drug and alcohol awareness to local youth groups in Monmouth and Ocean counties.  Since 2011, we have assisted over 225 families and distributed $48,000 in scholarships.  Last year, we raised $56,000 and were able to continue to provide these services.  Please help us continue this wonderful work.  We are asking for Gift Cards or Retail Items for the Gift Auction component of our event.  Your contributions are greatly needed and appreciated.  We rely solely on the donations of individuals and corporations to fund all of our events.  I hope we can count on your support. Please submit your donation no later than October 2, 2019 to ensure your donation receives proper recognition at the Benefit and in the program.  A wonderful place to enlighten you as to our Foundation Events and Missions is on our website at:  www.christopherjmorrisseyfoundation.org .  From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely yours,   Joan Morrissey & The Benefit Committee
