EatDrinkHoboken.com’s (EDH) initiative is to help raise $50,000 by the end of 2010 for Project Play – an initiative of The Hoboken Family Alliance. As a business and as a community team player, EDH decided to team up with Project Play to help raise much needed funds to support the Church Square Park initiative to replace old equipment with new eco-friendly equipment.
Church Square Park is the city’s most popular and used parks and is in dire need of additional benches and playground materials to create a better experience for children and families.
The fundraising concept – created by founder and entrepreneur David Liebler – is unique. Specially designed VIP cards have been created and 10,000 will be sold to Hoboken based businesses’ for $5.00 each. The goal is to raise $50,000 from October 1st through December 31st, 2010. On October 1, EatDrinkHoboken will officially kick off the fund raising effort and contact various businesses’ to display posters and purchase the VIP cards.
The goal of EDH in getting involved with Project Play is quite simple – get involved and give back to the community. Liebler has been part of Project Play since 2009 and has established a good relationship and partnership with them.
The participating businesses’ will have a myriad of discounts available, such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 [percent off]. A complete list of participants can be found on EatDrinkHoboken.com [Hoboken VIP Card]. 100% of the funds collected will be donated to Project Play.
The merchants who participate also benefit, as we will post their VIP discounts and special offers on the EDH website so users who have the VIP Card can see all the specials.
