There will be raffle prizes, boardwalk games, caricature artists and a classic Jersey Shore menu. At the invitation of Kessler Foundation, Ben Vereen will stop by the event. Vereen, who has received care at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, looks forward to supporting this benefit to raise funds for people with disabilities who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy.
“The impact of this historic storm on people with disabilities must not be overlooked,” said Rodger DeRose, president and chief executive officer of Kessler Foundation. “Many lost wheelchairs, vehicles, and ramps and access to housing and independent living facilities. We ask everyone to share our invitation with their family, friends, community and colleagues. We look forward to having a full house and helping those most affected in the aftermath of this storm.”
