14th Annual Caring With Karaoke

September 14, 2022

at Tre Pizza*Pasta*Beer Garden

 

We are excited to announce that Caring with Karaoke is on September 14, 2022, at Tre Pizza-Pasta-Beer Garden in Freehold, NJ, and that The Stephanie Nicole Parze Foundation has been chosen as this year's Non-Profit Beneficiary Partner!!!

 

Caring with Karaoke is an annual charity fundraising event hosted by the Young Professionals Group (YPG) of Monmouth Regional Chamber of Commerce. Each year the YPG selects a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to partner with as its beneficiary of the proceeds of the event. This year's beneficiary, The Stephanie Nicole Parze Foundation will be the 14th organization selected. The Young Professionals Group is a committee of the Monmouth Regional Chamber of Commerce composed of dedicated, energetic, and involved individuals aged 40 and under who support the Chamber and Monmouth County. In addition to planning Caring with Karaoke, the committee also hosts chamber networking and educational events for professional development and leadership.

The Stephanie Nicole Parze Foundation's mission is to provide education, intervention and support to families and individuals dealing with domestic violence, sexual abuse, and missing loved ones.

"Our mission is bold with a lot of moving parts. But we feel that by getting Stephanie's story out to the public as much as possible, that has already helped so many people. Our Foundation is for all intents and purposes, still in its infancy. We began by only telling Steph's story and we have grown extremely fast." (SNPF Website)

"Proceeds from the event will be used to expand our current programs and implement new ones. We have so many opportunities to do so much more. For example, Self-defense and CPR public training classes, at no cost to victims or survivors, scholarships for students making a difference in helping the communities. (We currently fund 3 sports scholarships in honor of Stephanie.) We are also working on making changes to current laws and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that affect survivors and victims in NJ."

The evening will include a karaoke contest with prizes, open karaoke, gift basket raffles, and more! Don't miss your chance to donate to a great cause and sing the night away!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

SUCCESSFUL CARING WITH KARAOKE BENEFIT EVENT BY MRCC YOUNG PROFESSIONALS GROUP

IS MUSIC TO THE EARS OF CASA FOR CHILDREN OF MONMOUTH COUNTY

 

Drop the mic! Musical talent and charitable fundraising shared the spotlight at the 13th Annual Caring with Karaoke event recently hosted by the Monmouth Regional Chamber of Commerce (MRCC) Young Professionals Group. The entertaining event was held at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, attended by an enthusiastic crowd of contestants, fans, and MRCC members. Participants in the karaoke contest vied for prizes as they showcased their talent for celebrity judges Vito Cardinale, Albie Manzo, and Peter Swain. In addition to the spirited karaoke contest, the evening also included open karaoke, raffle baskets, a light buffet, and drinks.

 

Each year, the Caring with Karaoke event also lends support to a local charity. This year’s benefit raised funds for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Monmouth County, a network of 951 community-based programs that recruit, train, and support citizen volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. The organization was presented with a donation check in November.

 

MRCC Young Professionals co-chair Kathrine Dwyer proudly stated, “At our November 5 MRCC networking breakfast meeting, together with my co-chair Jeremy Faberlle, MRCC President Tamer Gouda, and Executive Director Terese Rölke, I had the privilege of presenting CASA of Monmouth County with a donation of $6,500. Proceeds from the event will be used to expand CASA services to train at least 18-28 new volunteers who will serve at least 25-35 never-before-served children. The funds were donated by proceeds collected at our September 30 event at the Stone Pony. Thank you to our generous sponsors for donating, the community for supporting, and our members for attending this fabulous evening! Stay tuned for more events from the Young Professionals of Monmouth Regional Chamber of Commerce.”

 

The successful evening was made possible, in large part, through the support of Gold Sponsors New Jersey Natural Gas, Parents Never Give Up, Paul Mark Printing, The Stone Pony, and Kahwaty Joe DJ Entertainers; Ruby Sponsors Kathrine Dwyer and Allstate, Jersey Shore BlueClaws, BCB Bank, CentraState Healthcare System, Edelman Financial Engines, Investors Bank, John Calabrese – Ameriprise Financial, and Prendergast Landscape Contractors, Inc.; Emerald Sponsors Cg Tax, Audit, & Advisory, CMIT Solutions, iPlay America, Mazza Recycling, and Team Montani Crosscountry Mortgage; Food Sponsors McLoone’s Restaurants, Metropolitan Café, Tuscany, Bubbakoo’s Burritos, Kunya Siam Thai Restaurant, and Business Enhancement Services + Training.
