HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Hi All,

Ms. Pumps here again. With the Fourth of July here, I have a special message for everyone out there…

I WANT YOU….TO SIGN UP FOR THE LINCROFT 5K WALK/RUN!

Celebrate your independence at our Celebration of Life at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, NJ on August 21st. Show your spirit and support by cheering on those who walk or run to honor, to remember, to give hope... for the gift of life.  All you have to do is click HERE. You can join individually, or gather up a few friends or family members and create your own team!

Wishing everyone a happy and relaxing Fourth of July,

XOXO, Ms. Pumps

Thanks for Celebrating!!

Hi Everyone,

What a great turnout at the New Providence 5K Celebration of Life on Sunday! The rainy forecast did not dampen the moods of the nearly 10,000 participants who joined us on the morning of June 5. In fact, the fastest runner completed our course in 16:29.24! I’m sure his heart was PUMPING.

The event was seamless, due to the efforts of 330 volunteers and 85 dedicated staff members. There was an abundance of refreshments, activities and music for our attendees (including my celebrity crush, Greg T from Z100), to enjoy on-site.

Don’t forget to check our Facebook album for all event photos and videos, and our Newsroom for any media coverage! See if you can spot yourself in a picture with the local celebrity…  ME!

We are getting PUMPED for our next 5K Celebration of Life event on Sunday, August 21 at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft. Sign up HERE and join me “down the shore” to spread the message of organ and tissue donation!

Lace up those running shoes and hit the pavement! See you then!

XOXO,

Ms. Pumps

WE’RE LESS THAN ONE MONTH AWAY FROM 5K DAY!

Hi Everyone,

A big THANKS to all my friends who participated in NJ Sharing Network’s 5K Celebration of Life in Paramus! I hope you had a blast! Donor families, transplant recipients, living donors, those waiting, volunteers, hospital partners and corporate sponsors came together and enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day to honor, to remember, and to give hope. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you check out our Facebook for all event day photos! You can also check out our Newsroom to see all the cool media coverage we received at the event.

Now it is time to start preparing for the 5K Celebration of Life Walk & USATF Certified Timed Race in New Providence!  WE’RE ONLY ONE MONTH AWAY! Make sure to get outside and lace up those running shoes.  You can sign up by visiting: http://www.njsharingnetwork.org/5k if you want to join me! 

Don’t want to walk or run? You can also volunteer – I’m sure NJ Sharing Network will need all the help they can get to make the 5K run smoothly. Volunteer registration is now OPEN!

If you have questions regarding the 5K Celebration of Life dates or locations, feel free to reach out to NJ Sharing Network staff at 5K@njsharingnetwork.org or call the 5K Hotline at 908-514-1761.

That’s all for now – hope to see you soon!

XOXO,

Ms. Pumps

Let's Celebrate Donate Life Month!

Hi everybody! It’s all hands on deck here at NJSN! Our staff has been very busy working on many exciting events and volunteer opportunities to help us celebrate National Donate Life Month, so get ready because we’ll need your help!

To ensure this April is the best one yet, I encourage you to join our various communities and partners in demonstrating support by hosting events all month long, and participating in National Blue and Green Day on April 15th!

I cannot wait to welcome all of our families, and enjoy this fun-filled day of music and festivities for all ages.  What are you waiting for?! Sign up today to participate or volunteer by visiting the 5K Website.  I hope to see all of you there!
