Dear Friend of Navesink Business Group,
Each year, the Navesink Business Group business and networking consortium selects a cause or charitable
organization to support. For several years, we've held various events to benefit local recipients, from
contributing to Lunch Break to helping a Red Bank business reopen after significant damage from
Superstorm Sandy. This year, we've partnered with Jersey Promise to organize our most ambitious initiative to
date. Waves of Support is an effort to boost local tourism and raise funds for 10 randomly chosen Jersey
Shore communities that are still affected by the Sandy aftermath.
The ten selected towns and/or representative organizations – Keansburg, Highlands, Union Beach, Sea
Bright, Long Branch, Belmar, Manasquan, Brick, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park – will identify local
organizations or businesses to receive a share of the proceeds raised. Among the recipients already chosen
are the Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry, Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, Visitation Relief
Center, Churches of the Manasquan Area Ministerium, Habitat for Humanity and Sea Bright Rising.
A series of three Waves of Support events began last November with events in Seaside Park and Sea Bright.
The events will culminate with an evening gala, “A Taste of Broadway on the Promenade,” that will take place
on Monday, September 22, 2014, at the historic Molly Pitcher Inn, located in Red Bank.
Because of generous donations from sponsors and those who have supported our events, we are on the way
to our fundraising goal. However, we are still seeking donations from both businesses and individuals in
order to fully attain our goal of $100,000 and provide assistance to our local communities.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. We hope that we can count on you for your support.
Sincerely,
Robert Lowe

Dear Friend of Waves of Support,
We've just announced the details of our Waves of Support grand finale event, to be held September 22 at
the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, NJ. The evening gala, “A Taste of Broadway on the Promenade,” will
feature dishes prepared by some of the Jersey Shore's top chefs, plus award-winning entertainment. The gala
continues Navesink Business Group's initiative to raise funds for 10 Jersey Shore communities and businesses
that were directly impacted by Superstorm Sandy. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Boys and
Girls Clubs of Monmouth County.
In order to meet our total fundraising goal of $100,000, we are asking for sponsorships and support from
local businesses and individuals. We ask that you will consider one of our sponsorship levels, detailed on the
following page. From "Tony Award" to "Mezzanine," any contribution is greatly appreciated and will make a
difference.
Waves of Support brings together many of Monmouth and Ocean Counties business and community
organizations, including local and regional chambers of commerce and tourism organizations. The evening
will give these like-minded organizations, as well as the people who love our coastal communities, the
chance to celebrate and support tourism for the Jersey Shore, and proclaim that “The Jersey Shore is Open
For Business.”
We hope that we can count on you for support, since without generous donations from our community
members, helping those in our area would not be possible. If you have any questions or concerns in the
meantime, please feel free to contact us at the number below.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and consideration!
Sincerely,
Robert Lowe
