May 6th Sentinel Newspaper Article and Retro Fitness Medical Supply Drive

Jennifer Amato, editor of the North Brunswick and South Brunswick Sentinel, found us after she learned of the medical supply drive we are currently running in conjunction with Retro Fitness in North Brunswick.  Retro Fitness North Brunswick owner, Bill Iovino, graciously donated space at his gym to be used as a drop off site for both his members and the public to donate medical supplies to be shipped to Haiti.

We met with Jennifer and spent almost 2 hours discussing our organization, the work we have done since the earthquake on January 12th, and our future projects and plans.  We know Jennifer is a very busy person and we truly appreciate her willingness to spend so much time with us and to put together such a great article!
