Morris Music Men to Sing for P.R.I.D.E. on April 1 in a Benefit Concert of Local A Capella Performers!

From the hit TV show Glee to the sensational quartet Pentatonix and the film “Pitch Perfect,” the popularity of a capella singing is hitting new highs!

On April 1, enjoy a benefit concert of local a capella performers, the Morris Music Men, and support the ECLC of New Jersey P.R.I.D.E. program for adults with special needs. The group sings something for everyone
to hum along: pop songs, show tunes, calypso and foot-stompers! After the show, concert goers can stay to meet the performers, join in a sing-a-long and snack on light refreshments.

The P.R.I.D.E. Adult Program is for graduates of ECLC’s schools who are not ready for employment. P.R.I.D.E. clients choose their dailyactivities – including book club, community volunteering, cooking, arts
and crafts, social skills, computers, fitness and paid opportunities. They go into the community every day for different activities. There are P.R.I.D.E. Centers in Florham Park and Paramus.

The benefit takes place on Saturday, April 1, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the ECLC of New Jersey school for students with special needs at 21 Lum Ave., Chatham. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door.

Tickets can be purchased online.

For more information, contact: Foundation Director Heather Alonge at halonge@eclcofnj.org or 973-635-1705 ext. 17.

At the event, ECLC will be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the Interfaith Food Pantry serving Morris County.

Proceeds from the benefit will go to the Renee and Bruce Litinger and Family Endowment in the name of longtime ECLC Executive Director Bruce Litinger of Short Hills. The Litinger Endowment, which recently topped $1 million in donations, will provide long-term support for the P.R.I.D.E. program. Donate to the Endowment.
