BECOME A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

This year Sunday May 6, 2018 will mark the 6th Annual Frank V. Panzone Jr. Memorial Cruisin for a Cure organized by Panzone’s Pizzaand presented by Barlow Buick GMC of Manahawkin to benefit David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation. The mission of this grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit is to provide financial assistance, wellness services and hope to families in New Jersey affected by a cancer diagnosis. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors and volunteers we have been able to assist 1,004 Families with $778,381.91 in direct financial assistance.

“This event was renamed in 2013 in memory and honor of Frank V. Panzone Jr. He was a beloved family man, great friend to many, devoted business owner, LBI Region community leader and DDBCF supporter! Those that knew Frank knew of his positive outlook on life and showed us how to live life “Full Throttle!” It is undeniable that the spirit of the day celebrates his ‘never give up’ attitude even as he himself battled esophageal cancer. This family friendly event brings our community together through their love of motorcycles & classic cars as well as the undeniable dedication of helping others in need! Please join us on May 6th to support this worthy cause!” ~

HOPE Sheds Light is hosting a support group that is offered to anyone affected by addiction. Following the overall mission of HOPE Sheds Light, this meeting is intended to provide education on the disease of addiction and hope to support a healthier community. Together we will help you find the courage to change the way you look and feel about addiction, and offer tools to aid in your recovery.

Our meeting is open to anyone struggling with addiction (i.e., loved ones or friends of those with addiction issues, as well as those seeking recovery for themselves). It is a place to go to know that you’re not alone and that there is a support system available. This monthly meeting consists of a half-hour discussion to promote ongoing education, which will highlight various recovery coaches and guest speakers. The discussion is followed by a small group session that is facilitated by individuals who have a strong recovery base.

This group meets in the Sanctuary at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 1500 Hooper Avenue in Toms River, New Jersey on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month. For more information, visit hopeshedslight.org.

HOPE Sheds Light, Inc. invites you to join us as we celebrate a day of recovery and hope through the groundbreaking of our new Butterfly Garden.

This new garden will be a place to reflect and remember… a place to find peace, beauty and solitude. Featuring a Zen-like atmosphere for walking or sitting, the garden will be constructed and planted with flora that attract the most beautiful of butterflies to act as a symbol of transformation.

Anchored by our mission to raise awareness and educate families on the disease that has plagued so many, this butterfly garden will help us embrace addiction so that our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters no longer have to hide in the shadows. They can instead have the courage to change through a community that truly cares enough to share their personal experiences in order to offer strength, wisdom, hope and resources that lead to positive community change and long-term recovery.
