Friends of JJ-Shop, Sip, Support Children at local Hospitals

Friends of JJ hosted their Annual Ladies Night Out at the Triple Crown Room in Colts Neck this past April. Over 75 ladies attended a night to Shop, Sip and Support. Friends of JJ is a local nonprofit organization started by Brenna & Christopher Messana in memory of their brother JJ. JJ passed away at the age of 27 after an eight-year battle with Neuroblastoma. Friends of JJ brings smiles year-round to children and their families at over 20 hospitals across NJ & NY.

Ladies Night Out was filled with shopping, laughter, and a lot of love. The attendees had access to shop at over 10 boutiques and vendors, a fabulous gift auction, gourmet catering and live music by Nichols and Dimes. The hit of the night was the gift auction, ladies had the chance to win over 50 prizes including restaurant gift cards, spa services, designer handbags and more. Catering was presented by Chef Joyce of Tastefully Yours. Chef Joyce has been in the industry for over 25 years and is known for her healthy, upscale and delicious catering. Guests also left with a tote bag from our premier sponsor Alfano Renovation.

Proceeds from this night directly benefit children at our local hospitals. To see how Friends of JJ brings smiles visit their website www.friendsofjj.org or their facebook page at www.facebook.com/friendsofjjinc
