PARSIPPANY — Delta Dental of New Jersey (DDNJ)’s recently held a three-part Pack a Smile collection drive which helped to brighten children’s day in a variety of ways.

This drive was broken up into the following parts:

• Pack an Envelope of Smiles, Sticker Collection/ Make a Card (June 28–July 13)
• Backpack School Supply Collection (July 9-July 27)
• Packing Support for Youth, New Bedding Collection (August 6- August 17)

Delta Dental of New Jersey also donated oral health kits to Eva’s Village, Cathedral Kitchen and Roots and Wings.

PARSIPPANY — More than 100 employees in four NY and NJ-based companies decorated and stuffed Backpack Gift Bundles recently for 60 displaced immigrant children separated from their parents at the US­ Mexico border.

Provided by Caring Capital, NJ’s only charitable team-building enterprise that offers custom kits to make and donate, the Backpacks gave children their only means of carrying their few belongings. After Caring Capital President Susie Schub learned that Lutheran Social Services of New York  (LSSNY) was housing some of the 2,500 displaced children, she contacted Executive Director Damyn Kelly.

He explained that children arrive with no belongings and would benefit from  backpacks. He noted that as each child reaches LSSNY, s/he receives medical, dental, and mental health care, plus safe housing. Staff search then for each child’s family. When Schub contacted Caring Capital clients, four responded immediately, setting up work-hour events in which employee volunteers could create the Backpacks. Using colorful fabrics and markers packed in each kit, employees decorated backpacks and matching baseball caps and journals. Companies also donated bilingual books, games, and gift cards. Schub explained, “Most people wish to respond to an emergency but often don’t know how.

Caring Capital makes it easy for companies to help their employees help others. We provide ready-to-make gift kits, allowing employees to feel good about pitching in and helping companies show their commitment to service.” As one client said, “Thanks for helping our employees feel they are making a difference in our world.” Among the corporate donors, A.J. O’Connor Associates, a human capital consulting firm in
Parsippany took part. According to Shannon O’Connor Bock, “We have a long history of
supporting disadvantaged children in our community. When we heard about Caring Capital’s goal, we didn’t hesitate to participate. We hope the children will be reunited with their parents as a matter of urgency and that the Backpacks bring relief to them in the interim.” Caring Capital, launched in 2009, empowers corporate employees to connect, create, and celebrate the role they can play, helping neighbors in need. Caring Capital provides engaging project kits worldwide for employees to make and donate to nonprofit organizations.

With 40 projects ranging from blanket and pillow sets to garden benches, Caring Capital has engaged 52,000 employees, who have donated gifts to roughly 120,000 children, families, seniors and service members. Corporate partners include American Express, Capital One, L’Oreal, Nestle, Novartis, Pepsi, Starbucks, Verizon, and Wyndham Worldwide. Click here for more information.

Since he was a toddler, Anthony Duke Claus has been in the spotlight.

From international commercials to off-Broadway theater to popular television, the now 22-year-old  William Paterson University student has been around the singing and acting block more than a few times.

“I’ve done a lot. I got a little taste of everything,” Claus said, whose passion for his craft is revealed through the excitement with which he talks. “It was actually a big enough taste of every field…from the acting and singing career. I’ve hit all the corners of it.”

Yet Claus’s latest summer gig–singing show tunes and oldies music at local eateries–is something he hadn’t done before.

And for a young man whose motto is “the bigger the stage, the better,” this new venture seems a bit out of character. But Claus said it was time for a change.

“I’ve done so many big productions that I just wanted to see what it was like to do more simple stuff,” he explained. “It’s good for me, because I’m doing what I love as a job. So many kids my age are working in grocery stores or restaurants. Why don’t I use the gift that God gave me and spread it with the community? I’ve been getting a following from being local.”

“I love singing that music. I have a very powerful, vibrato-sounding voice,” Claus said. “That’s what makes me unique from a lot of other people. I have such an exotic sounding voice from a lot of kids my age.”

But then again, Claus isn’t like many 22-year-olds in general. After being encouraged by a preschool teacher to perform in a talent show at the Wayne Hills Mall, he was discovered by an acting agent and booked his first commercial for Connecticut Light & Power when he was just three years old. (Coincidentally, it was also his first audition.)

Since then, Claus has done commercials for IKEA and Wendys, was on MTV’s “Wonder Showzen” for three years, and even landed a role on the soap opera One Life To Live.

He has also actively participated in theater, from local works like “Fuddy Meers” at Montville’s Barn Theatre to “Home Front” at Le MaMa in Greenwich Village.

“Theater has always been my favorite,” Claus said. “You can combine singing and acting equally on stage. When I’m on stage, there’s a whole different side of me that comes out. It’s always been my passion and desire to be on the Broadway stage singing the songs that I love performing.”

Claus said he isn’t thinking of pursuing a singing or acting career after he graduates. He still maintains his dream of playing a high profile Broadway role such as the Phantom in “Phantom of the Opera” one day, but Claus said he wants to learn something new in college, too.

“I want to go to college to learn something that I can use my entire life as a profession,” Claus said. “I think I want to go into the filmmaking industry. From being on camera all the time, I’d like to really learn about being the director and wearing his shoes.”

Claus said he won’t stop acting or singing, though. It’s quite literally in his blood: Eddie Brigati of The Young Rascals is Claus’s cousin.

“I just loved entertaining, because it was in my family,” he explained. “I feel like what I was put on this earth to do was entertain. Words can’t really describe how much I love performing and being on stage and singing for people. It’s the best feeling in the entire world.”

Wise Animal Rescue is dedicated to rescuing dogs of all ages and breeds from places where they are no longer wanted or are not being properly cared for. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save dogs’ lives and restore them back to health.

Central to our mission is to ensure that all dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots, and microchipped. Prior to adoption, all of the dogs are placed into responsible loving foster homes to be socialized and trained rather than put in a shelter environment.
