Operation Yellow Ribbon of South Jersey is among 18 local charities that will benefit from Mitzvah Magic: Good Friends Doing Good Deeds…Paying It Forward on April 29 at the Katz Jewish Community Center.
Hosted by the Jewish Business Network of Southern New Jersey, this distinctive networking event provides local business people with the opportunity to give back to the community by bringing with them items to donate to charity.
At a joyful homecoming celebration in Cherry Hill, the Jewish Business Network of Southern New Jersey joined Operation Yellow Ribbon in welcoming home Major Harvey Gaber, who was returning from his second deployment in Afghanistan. Operation Yellow Ribbon, which also sends care packages to American soldiers serving overseas, is requesting that people bring baby wipes and Tastykakes to Mitzvah Magic.
Mitzvah Magic, which is sponsored by CMIT Solutions of Cherry Hill, raised more than $12,500 and $25,000 worth of donated goods in 2012. Participating non-profits will again be in need of everything from suitcases to laundry detergent. Tickets are $10 in advance and $18 at the door of the Katz Jewish Community Center, which is located at 1301 Springdale Road in Cherry Hill.
The event takes place on April 29 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
