The generosity of attendees and special donation from Roselle Park 24/7 and another from Assemblyman Jon Bramick resulted in a one-day amount of nearly $2000 for Roselle Park resident Aaron Carr for the purchase of a wearable vest to help him on his road to recovery from his spinal cord injury from a surfing accident.
