Integrity House to Benefit from 2nd Annual Mille Miglia Car Show Rally

MONTCLAIR — Fresco Da Franco will host the second annual Mille Miglia Auto Club car show rally, benefiting  the Bate Adolescent Program at Integrity House, on Sunday, July 12. The car rally was originally scheduled for June 28, but was postponed due to weather conditions. Following the success of their client-created “Boys of Bate” film, the nationally recognized non-profit substance abuse rehabilitation center will be receiving a portion of the rally’s proceeds.

Taking place at Fresco, located at 15 Church Street, the event will commence with registration at 10:30 a.m., followed by a four mile police-escorted rally showcasing Italian exotic cars. Robert Budsock, President and CEO of Integrity House, will speak at the Meet and Greet Brunch along with members from the cast of the Sopranos at noon. Client testimonials from individuals who are currently enrolled in Integrity House’s program will follow, and the event will wrap up with a special celebrity performance.

“The car rally will help us bring much-needed awareness to the disease of addiction and the effects it has on individuals of all ages, while helping us to raise funds that allow us to provide the services and programming needed to aid individuals that are on the path to recovery,” said Budsock. “We are excited to participate in the event and thankful for the ongoing support from local community leaders and businesses, such as Fresco restaurant and the Mille Miglia Auto Club, who support our mission of helping our clients get back on track toward a successful path of sustained recovery.”

Integrity House’s Bate Adolescent Program is a residential program that serves adolescent males between the ages of 13 and 18 who have substance abuse and co-occurring mental health and behavioral issues. By attending and participating in the car rally, you are helping Integrity House to expand and enrich the services it offers for its adolescent clients.

The first was stand-up comic Hannibal Buress, who told a Cosby rape joke that reminded everyone of this decades-old scandal, bringing it back under public scrutiny. The second was…

Milin Shah: A Star In Licensing

PARSIPPANY — As the nation revels in Shark Week, in Parsippany, there’s even more cause for celebration: Milin Shah, a graduate of Seton Hall University, Class of 2015, was named a 2015 Rising Star by the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association (LIMA).

A global trade organization, LIMA hosts conferences and provides training for professionals within the licensing industry worldwide, while educating and raising awareness of the benefits of licensing within the business community.

“I’m completely humbled to receive this industry recognition,” Shah said. “If you asked me five years ago whether or not I would bet my career on a movie called Sharknado, I’m not exactly sure how I would have replied.”

Shah cut his teeth on intellectual property law as brand manager for Earthbound LLC, a licensing company whose primary client is the SyFy Channel.

Two years ago, when Sharknado took the country by storm, Shah was in the eye of it. His position as brand manager called for him to be conscious of trademarking, licensing and copyright issues. “Every merchandising partner is required to execute a licensing agreement with Syfy,” he said, “and part of my role was negotiating all business points in these contracts.”

Shah graduated with a concentration in Intellectual Property. Currently he is studying for the bar exam and in August, he will join international licensing company Isaac Morris Limited as Vice President of Licensing & Marketing.

“The last four years, balancing an exciting career with evening classes at Seton Hall Law, have been the greatest years of my life thus far,” he concluded. “I cannot wait to begin my next chapter with Isaac Morris. I’m living proof that the cliché holds true: Choose a career you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Milin was featured in Seton Hall “In The Spotlight.”
