Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on April 3, 2020

Those planning to take part in the Humanity Preservation Foundations Orange Tie Affair on Friday, April 3, are encouraged dress semi-formal, preferably with an orange flair -- at least from the waist up, or however much they intend to show of themselves on screen.

Thats because the annual gala fundraiser and cocktail party, set to take place at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden from 7 to 11 p.m, has been shifted to an online-only event in wake of the COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings.

The party will go on via Zoom. Admission is free and all are invited.

"This event was structured around the kick off to Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, which has not been cancelled and therefore we must continue forward with this effort regardless of our current pandemic situation, explained HPF co-founder and president Rhett Hackett.

For information call 856-571-6137 or email jahubler@humanitypreservationfoundation.org. Visit hpfus.org.
