Ravitz Family Foundation: Aiding Children and Families in Need
Ravitz Family Foundation Named 2011 Outstanding Foundation by AFP
On November 17, 2011, the Ravitz Family Foundation was named 2011 Outstanding Foundation of the Year by the SJ chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The RFF was nominated by the Make-A-Wish foundation
The Ravitz Family Foundation was recognized for its support of a local boy suffering from Neuroblastoma. Earlier this year, Ravitz Family ShopRites teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to give five-year-old Tyshon, his parents and brothers and sisters a special trip to the land where dreams come true – Disney World! Associates at the five Ravitz family-owned ShopRites in Cherry Hill, Marlton, and Mount Laurel helped to collect more than $18,000 for the Camden County-based family.
The Outstanding Foundation award was presented to the Ravitz family at the Charter Philanthropy Day Awards breakfast reception at the Mansion on Main Street in Voorhees, New Jersey on Thursday, November 17th.
“Partnering with Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey has been a great experience for our family and our associates,” said Shawn Ravitz, vice president of Administration, ShopRite Supermarkets of Cherry Hill. “We are honored to work with them to raise funds for local families in need and to bring smiles to the faces of children like Tyshon.”
“Make-A-Wish is appreciative for the support of the Ravitz family, ShopRite associates and their customers for their outstanding support of our mission,” said JoAnne LaPergola, director of Development, Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey.
