Party With Purpose

Last month, our Jersey Shore chapter hosted an incredible day of hiking and exploration at Hartshorne Woods Park!

Children from two of our partner organizations -- Team Wilderness and KYDS -- not only hiked the beautiful park with its scenic views of the Navesink River and Atlantic Ocean, but took part in a mindfulness session and sound bath. It was a terrific opportunity to move our bodies and enjoy nature!

We ended the day with a picnic lunch thanks to a generous (and delicious!) donation from Jersey Mike's Subs. PWP Jersey Shore also donated drawstring backpacks filled with goodies for each child.

This was one of several PWP Jersey Shore events that showcased the culture, art and beautiful landscapes of our coastal communities.

What a night to remember. 🎶💚

The first-ever Friendly Green Jackets Back to Summer Charity Concert was an incredible success—and it’s all thanks to this amazing community that showed up ready to party with purpose.

From the music to the dancing to the nonstop energy, it was more than just a great night out—it was a powerful reminder of what can happen when people come together for something bigger than themselves.

Because of your support, we raised meaningful funds and awareness for three impactful organizations:
✨ Party With Purpose – Jersey Shore
✨ Christopher J. Morrissey Foundation
✨ Covenant House New Jersey

Each of these organizations is doing critical work to support children and families in need—and this night helped fuel that mission.

To everyone who attended, donated, performed, and helped bring this event to life—thank you.

Work Hard. Play Hard. Give Hard. 💥
