Marlboro Police Helping Good Causes Through December

MARLBORO, NJ — The Police Department is raising funds for important causes in November and December.

Chief Peter Pezzullo and Marlboro officers are once again participating in the “No Shave November” and “Double Down December” fundraisers, as well as the continuing Adopt-A-Family program.

No Shave November is an annual charity event where officers don’t shave their facial hair as a way of raising money for a good cause. This year, all donations raised will go toward two organizations; Blue Line Bears and the Boomer Esiason Foundation Fighting Cystic Fibrosis.

• When a law enforcement officer dies in the line of duty, Blue Line Bears takes the officers uniform shirt and turns it into teddy bears for the fallen officers children. To learn more about Blue Line Bears, please visit their website, https://bluelinebears.org. Blue Line Bears. Blue Line Bears is a nonprofit organization based in Cape Coral, Fla.
• The Boomer Esiason Foundation partners leaders in the medical and business communities, along with volunteers, to heighten awareness, education and quality of life for those affected by cystic fibrosis, while providing financial support to research aimed at finding a cure. To learn more about this cause, please visit https://www.esiason.org. Boomer Esiason Foundation.

If anyone is interested in making a donation to these causes, contact Ptlm. James Caulfield at 732-536-0100, ext. 1118, or jcaulfiled@marlboropd.org.
