From Start to Finish, It’s About CARE

Join My Journey As I Compete & Fundraise for The CARE Center of NJ!

Join My Journey as I Compete & Fundraise for The CARE Center of NJ!

I’m training for the New Jersey State Triathlon (July 20, 2025) to make a lasting impact! Every dollar raised is tax-deductible and supports The CARE Center of NJ (CCNJ), a 130,000-square-foot facility with 20-plus programs providing food, resources, and hope to those in need.

Our goal is to raise $250,000 to fund two critical initiatives:

  • The Community Garden ($100K) – A 1-acre garden in Rockaway, New Jersey, that will be revitalized to grow fresh produce for CCNJ’s Food for HOPE program, ensuring families have access to nutritious, locally grown food.
  • The Oasis Program of Food for HOPE ($150K) – Expanding our mobile food pantry and outreach services to serve the top 50 food deserts in New Jersey, bringing essential food assistance to underserved communities.

As I take on the challenge of an Olympic triathlon—swimming 1 mile, biking 25 miles, and running 6.2 miles—your support will help fund these life-changing programs. Every $25.35 you give helps to provide meals for families in need through growing fresh produce and expanding access to essential food services—turning my race into real impact!
