Registration rates go up on April 15th ~ our goal is to raise at least $100K. 

 

100% of the proceeds go to Danny's Pantry!

 

In August of 2024, the District of New Jersey’s Board of Judges approved the ​opening of a food pantry named in honor of ​Judge Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl. This pantry, ​known as “Danny’s Pantry,” was established in remembrance ​of the fourth anniversary of Daniel’s tragic death. To transform ​sorrow into positivity, the District Court established this ​pantry to assist the many families in need who come through ​the court doors. Participants in the Pretrial Opportunity ​Program and ReNew Program and others served by this court, ​may obtain food staples donated to the pantry by the federal ​court family and friends. The pantry helps alleviate the burdens faced by ​many poverty-stricken families and individuals while, connecting ​the Court to the surrounding community. 

 

It warms Danny’s parents' hearts to know that the District Court is uplifting the community it serves by spreading love and light.

 

Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome however, only Daniel's Butterflies are allowed at the park therefore, we ask that all furry loved ones stay home.

 

There will be plenty of parking with direct access to the registration area and the park.  Only clear small bags allowed and subject to inspection.

 

Hate is Heavy, LOVE IS LIGHT!
