6/4/2024 Marauders on a Mission
The next event that the team supported was the 9th Annual AngelaCARES Senior Citizen Prom held on May 31st, 2024 at Saint Peter's University. This large event was a hit with Senior Citizens in Jersey City and beyond, and all present appreciate the player's interaction and care. Players welcomed the seniors upon arrival, greeted them at check-in, and helped them to their seats for the event. The next collaboration this spring was with Jersey City's Camp Liberty. The camp is run by a local non-profit called the Educational Arts Team and sits on 5 acres of land just between Prep's campus and Cochrane Stadium in Liberty State Park. The camp hosts close to 400 campers every summer, and for the past 2 years the camp staff has greatly appreciated Prep football players donating their time to ready the camp site for the summer influx! This year players assisted the camp with playground cleanup, weeding, and spreading mulch, as well as setting up tables and benches to construct the lunch area. Lastly, the team has partnered with the Hoboken Community Center pantry. The facility is located on Washington St. in Hoboken at the site of the old Hoboken-North Hudson YMCA. Players volunteered on several evenings throughout the spring to help organize, package and distribute food at the pantry. 6/5/2023 Clean Up at Camp Liberty![]() Prep football players, parents, and coaches traveled over to Liberty State Park's Camp Liberty to help setup for this summer's round of camps. This community service included cleaning up camp grounds, building benches and picnic tables, and weeding tennis courts. A description from camp liberty's website: Often referred to as "the hidden gem” of Jersey City, EdArts sits on 5 acres of land and is a place of contrast: a suburban camp in an urban setting. A fifty-year old institution serving Jersey City students, youth, families, and educators, EdArts delivers over 300 school-based art education programs and enrolls over 400 campers through our “Camp Liberty” summer program. EdArts engages young people with arts-based programs that connect creativity with critical thinking in order to stimulate personal growth and academic achievement by making their learning experience more meaningful. The arts provide powerful tools for children to achieve academic success, increase self-esteem, and are at the center of all EdArts programs. We believe all young people should have the opportunity to think, create, reflect, and be heard within a community of engaged learners. |
