Fundraiser for Lindsey Tippett White Horse Volunteer Fire Company Joins CBC-NJ to Help a Great Teenager

Our fundraiser for Lindsey Tippett was held on June 19th jointly with the White Horse Vol. Fire Company at their firehouse in Hamilton Twp. The festivities actually began on Wednesday, June 14th, when Mayor Glen Gilmore presented Lindsey with a key to the city during a blood drive at the Hamilton Municipal Township offices, and celebrated her 17th birthday.

At the firehouse, in addition to the fundraiser, we held a blood drive, raising over thirty units during the evening. Michael Sharashian and Jonathan Ciliento donated, and Lindsey’s friend Jessica Pullen was a first-time donor.

In the next room at the fundraiser, people enjoyed the delicious pasta dinner, with food donated by many area restaurants. We’d like to thank the Girl Scouts of Troop 668 of Trenton, for their help in preparing the dinner and taking admissions at the door.

We gratefully acknowledge the following businesses and individuals, who contributed so generously to the event, making it a huge success.
