Philanthropy
As the face of Penn State in the local community, the Northern NJ Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association is committed to philanthropy and community service. *************************************************************************************************************** Our chapter will be volunteering again at the Nutley Family Serivce Bureau on May 22nd. For those of you who don't know the thrift store sells items to where all proceeds go to assisting families that are in need. *************************************************************************************************************** For our 4th year, the Northern NJ Chapter will be volunteering with the First Cerebral Palsy Center of NJ for their Annual Basketball Shoot-out. The event will take place on Saturday, March 20th from 10am-12pm in the gym at Bloomfield College, in Bloomfield, NJ. As in the years past we'll be helping to rebound as well as anything else to help the CP center make this event another success. It's another great chance to volunteer and help out a great cause. *************************************************************************************************************** In addition to the many services our chapter provides for local Penn Staters, several of our events are fundraisers for the Penn State Dance Marathon and the Four Diamonds Fund (www.thon.org), as well as our own scholarship efforts to support the education of local students who have chosen to study at Penn State.
Aside from monetary contributions, we support volunteerism through hands-on involvement with the following organizations: 1st Cerebral Palsy Center of NJ Nutley Family Service Bureau To review past volunteering efforts, please see our Previous Events page for further details.
