Exceptional Stars Athletics, AJ Strong, and Rosie’s Run are collaborating for an online fundraising event this weekend in order to help raise money for Toys for Tots.

“The community generously supports all three of our organizations, so we feel the need to give back, and there is no better way than to help raise money so local children can have a wonderful Christmas,” said Rich Bianco of Exceptional Stars Athletics. “I am excited to be working with Nick (Kahanic), Aaron (Lee), and Jamie (Billquist) on this project. These men have tremendous hearts and a deep love for our community. I have a feeling this fundraiser is going to be huge. I love the work that Pat Smeraldo, Terri Johnson, and the crew at Toys for Tots do for the families in our community. We’re pumped to be able to help them out.”

Beginning at 5 p.m. Friday and running through 5 p.m. Sunday, donations can be made for $10 to “adopt a child.” ESA, AJ Strong, and Rosie’s Run will match all donations made this weekend (up to 100 adopted kids) and all funds will be donated to our local Toys for Tots organization. Donations can be made through Venmo (@Exceptional-Stars-1) or through Paypal (exceptionalstarsathletics@gmail.com). For more information or to make a cash/check donation, please contact Rich Bianco at 450-1329.
