PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany-troy Hills Elks Lodge No.2078 in Partnership with the Northwest District Special Children’s Committee met with the President of the Morris County Challenger Little League Michael Bertram, and presented him with uniform baseball Shirts for Special Needs Children.
The League approached the Northwest District Special Children’s Committee by one of its coordinators, Susan Reinhart member of West Orange Elks Lodge No.1590. She inquired if we could assist them in obtaining or donating approximately 150 shirts. The League consists of 6 teams of 25 Special Needs Children, in the greater Morris County area their ages range from 6 up to 23 year’s old. It was suggested that one of the Lodges in the District which there is 9 would apply for a Grant from The Elks National Foundation. Joe Serrecchia from the Parsippany Troy-Hills Lodge was able to make that happen.
The Parsippany Elks received a $2000.00 for this program to be used towards the purchase of the shirts. This was a collaboration from Members from Parsippany Elks, East Hanover Elks and Sparta Elks Lodge’s.
