Bergen County Players Donate to Congenital Heart Defect Coalition
By: Tyler Peterson
As part of its ongoing program to give back to the community, The Bergen County Players recently presented a $2,000 donation to the Congenital Heart Defect Coalition.
Prior to a performance of BCP season opener "Guys and Dolls," (Left to Right) BCP President Margie Druss Fodor and BCP Charity Chair Sheldon Stone presented the check to Mickey Wilder, CHD coalition president and Kevin Novreske, CHD coalition board member. The sole purpose of this nonprofit organization is to help those affected by congential heart defects."We've been in Bergen County for 83 years and we couldn't do it without the support from our community," said BCP President Margie Druss Fodor, of Westwood. "This is our way of saying thank you."
Since the theater's 1995-96 season, the BCP membership has chosen a specific charity each year to which the organization donates a portion of its net proceeds. The charities selected all benefit Bergen County. Next year's recipient is Visiting Homemaker Home Health Aide Service of Bergen County. Past charities are: Multiple Sclerosis, Bergen County Community Action Program, ARC of Bergen County, Shelter Our Sisters, Emmanuel Cancer Foundation, Center for Help, Center for Food Action, Spectrum for Living Development Research Foundation for Children, We Must Care, Youth Consultation Service, Appropriate Living for the Autistic, AIDS Research Foundation for Children, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Alzheimer Association of Greater NJ Chapter, Gilda's Club, Adler Aphasia Center, Family Promise of Bergen County, the Audrey Hepburn Children's House and the Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge.
