WHAT A DAY!!! Blockfest 2018 was one for the record books! Everything was bigger.
The Board of Directors of Newman Cares, Inc. is pleased to announce the charity for Blockfest 2018 is MINETTE'S ANGELS.
Founded in 2004, Minette's Angels is a non-profit breast cancer foundation based out of Verona, New Jersey.
The Foundation provides assistance to those in treatment, supports research and promotes breast health awareness, which is vital to saving lives. We offer scholarships to second year nursing students at Seton Hall University's College of Nursing. We also offer scholarships to Verona students entering the medical field, placing a priority on nursing majors.
The 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!
