On the heels of our wildly successful Fifth Anniversary Blockfest, Newman Cares added new fundraising campaign to our menu — "Dine 4 a Difference!"
Dine 4 a Difference was a delicious way to raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Nationally and internationally recognized local chefs Floyd Cardoz, Ariane Duarte, Amanda Freitag and Carmen Quagliata pooled their culinary talents to create an unforgettable menu for a great cause.
Dine 4 A Diff HomeTHANK YOU for contributing, for coming, for donating, for caring! Thanks to you, we had our best year yet.
In the coming weeks we'll announce the final results and post the photos and wrap-up video.
In the meantime, since Blockfest is always the THIRD SATURDAY in September, mark your calendars now for #6!
New Blockfest HomeThe mission of Newman Cares Inc. is simple: We gather neighbors, friends and family for a block party filled with music, food and fun for everyone of all ages. We charge a nominal entrance fee with proceeds going to charities selected by our Board of Directors. We base those selections on any misfortune suffered by our same neighbors, friends and family.
As we are now a recognized 501(c)(3) organization, we can help other groups do good work, by providing a formal conduit for donations from their events as well as getting involved in any way we can.
Moving forward, we will continue evolving and finding new ways to help others.
We are the Block Party with a Heart!
