Free Scrap Metal Recycling Drop-off Cancelled for August 6 Due to Storm Damage

Both locations are open for drop-offs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on the first Thursday and third Saturday of each month, until November 21.

As we have all heard, the COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to impact our society. For the safety of our guests, donors, volunteers, and students, the Foundation made the difficult decision to make this year’s Beach Ball Gala virtual. While we will be virtual, there are BIG plans in place to make this virtual gala a great time for our guests and a night to remember. We will be bringing back our virtual casino! This event is very special because we are honoring two important donors, DSM as our Corporate Partner of the Year and Mary Zimmermann, class of 2001, as our Fiat Lux award winner. We hope that you can join us on Thursday, February 24, 2022 at 6:00 PM to celebrate our wonderful honorees, while helping to ensure we have the ability to continue accelerating the pace of student success. For more information on this year’s exciting event, please call the Foundation office at 908.709.7505, e-mail us at [email protected] or click below to purchase your ticket today!
Join us for our 30th Annual Golf Outing on April 25, 2022. Your support of this year’s golf outing will have a generational impact on student success. With your help, our Foundation is able to provide over $1 million annually in scholarship support, invest in programs and equipment, and provide vital support to the College’s food insecurity program for students in need as we help accelerate the pace of student success.

Oktoberfest is about gathering, togetherness, and boisterous celebration. At a time full of sports, school, and scheduling conflicts, we find time to come together as a community to welcome in
the fall season.
This year, we are excited to hoist our tent, once again, at Union College on Saturday, October 7th, for the Cranford Jaycees’ Annual Oktoberfest Fundraiser!
Tickets include beer and wine in a souvenir mug, games, food vendors, and live music throughout the night. We’re excited to welcome back our headliner band Mushmouth, alongside NYC’s Street Beat Brass, bringing the authentic Oktoberfest sound.
All proceeds support the Cranford First Aid Squad and other local charities. Oktoberfest sells out yearly, so please purchase your tickets early.
Thank you for supporting Oktoberfest, the Jaycees, and the Cranford First Aid Squad. See you under the tent on Saturday, October 7th.
PROST!
