Back-to-School-Supplies Campaign–Dr. Rotem and WJRZ Team up to Help BigBrothers BigSisters

Teachers usually tell their students not to waste the summer.  The end of the school year, they tell us, is the right time to begin planning for the new school year!

Several organizations are working to make sure that when school bells ring this September, Ocean County Big Brothers BigSisters will start the new school year with the backpacks and supplies they need.  Toms River dentist Dr. Ron Rotem, 355 Lakehurst Road, Toms River, through radio station WJRZ (100.1 FM), is kicking-off a back-to-school-supplies campaign this May by filling 50 backpacks with school supplies for BigBrothers Big Sisters.

The public is invited to help. From the mid-June through early September,  attendees of the summer concert series in Brick Township and Berkeley can fill large blue WJRZ collection barrels with school supplies.*
