South Jersey Event Raises $190,000 To Help Those With Disabilities
The fundraiser will help Cherry Hill-based Bancroft help those with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities and brain injuries.
CHERRY HILL, NJ — A Sip, Swirl and Support event for Cherry Hill-based Bancroft earlier this spring raised $190,000 to assist Bancroft in helping those with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities and brain injuries, a co-organizer of the event said.
Some of the specific programs include providing assistive technology, classroom supplies and
adult enrichment activities, co-organizer Rebecca Fuller added.
"We are thrilled that so many families, donors and colleagues were able to attend the event in support of our mission," Toni Pergolin, Bancroft President and CEO, told Patch. "The money we raised will go a long way in helping those we support live their best lives."
