Community Comes to Aid of Local Va. Tech
Victim Sean McQuade
Most of the people didn't even know 22 year old Sean McQuade of Mullica Hill. All they needed to know was he graduated Clearview Regional High School in 2003 and that he was shot in the face during the Virginia Tech rampage last month. McQuade is now in stable condition in a Virginia hospital. He would have graduated from college this month.
"What these people went through they deserve all the thoughts and prayers of all the people," said Mary Stens of Wenonah.
Ten percent of Dippy's sales Wednesday night was being donated to a fund to help McQuade's family. Morgan Morina convinced her boss to participate in the fundraiser. She and her co-workers donated their pay and tips. She said, "everybody's so excited about it and willing."
Dippy's teamed up with a high school buddy of McQuade's, Michael Camp, and his former English teacher, Tracy Matozzo to help a hometown boy. Camp said, "It hasn't been just one isolated person or group, it's been everyone coming together to support and show love." Matozzo said, "We had donations with as little as two dollars with a post-it on it saying 'we only have two dollars please take it with our thoughts and prayers."
The money was tallied and deposited in an account on Thursday.
Stir It Up Coffeehouse
| Benefit for one of the Virginia Tech victims | May 19th |
JMH Entertainment, with the support of St. Edmonds’ Bank and in conjunction with The Broadway Theatre in Pitman, New Jersey, is pleased to announce that both remaining concerts in May (a graduating month for college seniors) will benefit Mullica Hill resident Sean McQuade, one of the young shooting victims in the Virginia Tech massacre in April. The first concert is May 19, which is also Pitman Craft Fair Day. The show, titled "Rag Doll" features four performers, in the vein of the Broadway show “Jersey Boys,” paying tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Also featured will be South Jersey resident Sherry Lynn who recently opened at The Broadway Theatre for Sammy Kershaw, currently on his nation wide tour. Completing this triple bill will be "America’s Got Talent" winner, Sony recording artist and Philadelphia’s own Bianca Ryan. Bianca Ryan, Sherry Lynn and the country band "Wanted" will appear at the Pitman Craft Fair from 11am until 1:30PM, posing for photographs and signing autographs as St. Edmond’s bank accepts donations for Sean McQuade. Andy Kortman, morning radio show host from 1360am WNJC and 1180am WFYL, will also be making a personal appearance at the Craft Fair and will be back later to emcee the evening's concert event. Explains Joe Matta, President of JMH Entertainment, “Sean would have graduated this month and had his whole life ahead of him. He was looking forward to graduation and had a job lined up. In an instant, his life was forever changed and we need to take just a few minutes of our lives to let him know that he is in our hearts and our prayers.” Tickets are on sale now at the Broadway Theatre box office at 43 S. Broadway in Pitman. Tickets are also available through the website, http://www.pitmanbroadwaytheatre.com or by calling 856-384-8381. Further information is available from Patricia Mangano, the Managing Director at the Broadway theatre (856) 589 -1911 or Joe Matta, President of JMH Entertainment (856) 262-0230. Direct donations and additional information is also available from Beverly Matozzo from St. Edmond’s Bank at (856) 227-9440. | |
