ERA Justin Realty Works Toward MDA Summer Camp Success for Kids

All for fun for a serious cause, ERA Justin Realtor business owners Jennifer Darby Metzger, Ron Darby and Carol Darby were locked-up for MDA at the recent MDA Lock-Up luncheon attended by area business leaders, ERA Justin Realtors and kids with Muscular Dystrophy. Chauffeured with the cooperation of area police departments many business owners were brought to the lock-up luncheon in police cars until they reached their fundraising goals.

 

ERA Justin Realty Works Toward MDA Summer Camp Success for Kids

ERA Justin Realty works each year to send as many children with Muscular Dystrophy to area summer camp for some fun in the sun while their health permits.

ERA New Jersey’s top fundraising real estate office and its owners Ron Darby, Jennifer Metzger Darby and Carol Darby were recently informed that the firm will be inducted into the ERA-MDA President’s Club, with honors shared only by organizations with year-long focus for Jerry’s kids and the Summer Camp for Kids program while reaching fundraising criteria.

ERA Justin Realty recently participated with other business leaders in the Muscular Dystrophy Summer Camp for Kids fundraiser.  All in fun, they were swept away and locked-up until they reached their fundraising goal for the kids. ERA Justin Realty, with the help of their staff of Realtor Agents will meet their 2011 goal of $7,000 for the MDA kids summer camp program.

Ron Darby, chairman for all of the ERA offices throughout New Jersey with his staff of Realtors is coordinating the statewide effort and with the cooperation of other ERA offices over past years have collectively raised over $100,000., presented at the MDA Labor Day Telethon by ERA Justin Realty to recording star Tony Orlando.

Jennifer Darby Metzger of ERA Justin Realty said, “We are asking for area residents to help continue these goals for our MDA kids, whose health may permit them to be part of summer camp this year, but they may not be able to attend in future years. Each year MDA supports some 90-summer camps across the country. Whether in Alaska or Hawaii, in California or New Jersey, at MDA camp barriers simply don’t exist. A child with a disability can just be a child among friends. MDA camp is a magical place offering a wide range of activities specially designed for young people who have limited mobility or use wheelchairs. MDA camp programs, although structured, are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere that gives campers an unmatched opportunity to develop lifelong friendships, share interests and build self-confidence. Activities range from outdoor sports such as swimming, boating, baseball and horseback riding to less physically demanding programs like arts and crafts and talent shows. Thousands of youngsters attend MDA camp each year at no cost to their families.”
