Knights of Columbus Final Four Fundraiser
Earlier this year, the Garwood and Cranford Knights of Columbus Councils held a joint Final Four fundraiser to help and assist Cranford Firefighter Rob Hurewitz and his family after hearing about the end of his career as a Cranford Firefighter due to medical issues. When Ellen Ramer of Martin’s Jewelers saw what we had done for Rob, she reached out to our Council to see how we could work together to help him some more.
Ellen graciously donated a beautiful pair of diamond earrings that we were able to raffle off as a fundraiser. Working together with Ellen, and with the support of Caren Demyen of Downtown Cranford, we were able to raise over $6,000 for Rob and his family. We also had a very deserving winner in Gina Pachkowski, the owner of Alleum Yoga here in town, who is a big supporter of many charities and causes here in Cranford.
On behalf of Ellen and Martin Jewelers, the Cranford Council would like to thank everyone who supported this worthy fundraiser, and we are very appreciative of all of the support that we received from Caren and our local Cranford businesses, and our special friends in our community. Please shop local and support all of the Cranford businesses that always support us with fundraisers like this one.
