ERA Justin Realty Receives Muscular Dystrophy President’s Club Honors
A notification to ERA Justin Realty made a recent snowy day brighter, when Broker Ronald Darby received an invitation to the ERA-Muscular Dystrophy Association induction to the MDA President's club to be held at the ERA International Business Conference in Austin, Texas in March.
For their efforts as Northern New Jersey’s top fundraising ERA real estate office, Darby informed his ERA teammates that the firm was inducted into the President’s Club, honors shared only by organizations with year-long focus to the Summer Camp For Kids program.
Ron Darby, Broker, and the ERA New Jersey Chairman for MDA introduced Al Rottini and Jennifer Darby Metzger for their efforts in leading the team's fundraising efforts. He said, "They were introduced on WWORTV and presented their 2012 fundraising check during the Labor Day Telethon. The firm continues to spearhead the efforts for MDA in this lifesaving mission again in 2013."
Rottini stated, “ERA Justin Realty and our team of Realtor professionals focused and succeeded in an outstanding fundraising effort in sending area MDA children to summer camp.”
Darby-Metzger continued, “Our ERA Justin teammates spent time at summer camp with the kids. At that moment, one can see how rewarding it is to participate. We spent our efforts working with the kids in their arts and crafts projects, viewed their games and activities and enjoyed their varied conversations."
Their fundraising team has begun their 2013 fundraising with a kick-off to this year's bowl-a-thon to be held locally for the MDA kids.
Darby added, "Each year MDA supports 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."
Darby-Metzger said, "If you’re 16 or older, you’re invited to apply to join the MDA team as a camp volunteer. At most MDA camps, volunteer counselors work one-on-one with campers around the clock, providing the care, close supervision and attention children with neuromuscular diseases need. Counselors push wheelchairs, lift and carry youngsters, and even bunk-down near their campers. But above all, they become a youngster's friend for a week and sometimes for a lifetime.
By becoming an MDA summer camp sponsor you can provide a local youngster with neuromuscular disease with many special summer memories. As a sponsor, you will be invited to visit the local MDA camp during the special sponsor VIP Day. You’ll see the joy that your participation in this program creates. Your involvement will also be saluted on the local broadcast of the MDA Labor Day Telethon."
Rottini concluded, “Become a sponsor! Help youngsters with neuromuscular diseases in your community experience a week of fun and friendship they’ll never forget. At MDA camp there’s always a need for volunteer counselors, medical staff, water safety instructors and activity coordinators. Be a volunteer or a sponsor by sending your tax deductible check made payable to MDA and mail it to MDA c/o ERA Justin Realty Co., 118 Jackson Avenue, Rutherford, New Jersey 07070.
