The Hunterdon Mohawks Boys and Girls Lacrosse Club, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, is the largest boys and girls youth program, serving the sending districts into North Hunterdon High School for 21 years. Our youth players practice and play home games in their own community and play very competitive away games in neighboring towns. This is as a result of our membership with US Lacrosse, the NJJLL and JGLA. We offer a Jr. Mohawk program, designed for boys and girls, Kindergarten through second grade, and our boys and girls program offers teams from third to eighth grade. The purpose of the Mohawk program is to provide the highest level of coaching to the youth in our community and introduce, develop and instruct boys and girls in the game of lacrosse, so that they develop a life-long love for this sport. Our experienced, dedicated youth coaches teach players how to work hard, to become fundamentally sound, preparing them for scholastic play by the 8th grade. Our Head Coaches are required to complete: a background check, the "Positive Coaching Alliance" course, CDC Heads-Up Concussion Training, the Rutgers Safety Course, and be a member of US Lacrosse. Many of our coaches are US Lacrosse Level I certified, and among our coaches we have a former Division 1 coach, and former collegiate players. When youth-players learn to love the game of lacrosse and have a desire to play at a higher level, we introduce them to higher level opportunities to help them improve their game through our partnerships with "select" lacrosse clubs. Exposing our youth players to other styles of coaching helps them to become well-rounded players as they prepare to play in high school. The philosophy of the Mohawks has been incredibly successful as witnessed by the championships won by both the boys and girls teams at North Hunterdon High School. Many of the boys on North's team are a product of our Mohawk program, and nearly all of the girls on the girl's team are alumni of our Mohawk program!

Dear Friends in Clinton Township and Other Surrounding Areas: We're writing to ask for your help to bless township and local residents who have received a diagnosis of cancer. As ours have, many of your families have been deeply impacted by cancer and are often seeking ways to help. As you probably know a diagnosis of any cancer brings fear, uncertainty and financial stress. In response, we've created a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 called Covered with Love, Inc. to meet the most tangible needs of our local neighbors who are facing this very scary diagnosis. Covered with Love, Inc. provides others with cancer a simple, yet profound and tangible gift of a cozy blanket. It seems like a simple thing. Yes, it is! But it's a gift that makes a difference. You're losing your hair. You're cold. You feel sick from treatments. Physical comfort is hard to find. It's a very simple thing, but when you're fighting for your life and you might be living your last days on earth, a simple gift of comfort means the world to you. To know that another human being, who might not even know you, cares about you and loves you means everything. That's what we, Covered with Love, Inc., are all about – loving others! We give the gift of comfort, a cozy blanket to those fighting cancer. We ask nothing in return. Please partner with us! You can trust that every dollar you give goes toward a blanket that provides comfort for a local friend or neighbor fighting cancer. Each blanket is a plush, machine washable, twin or full size blanket that can envelope someone in comfort, warmth and love! Let's be the community that loves others-friends and strangers, those who are hurting! In the end, what matters more than LOVE? Learn more about our mission! If you're able, make a financial donation towards a blanket or blankets at: www.coveredwithlove.org. You'll receive a mailed letter in receipt of your tax-deductible donation to thank you for your kindness and generosity! – In Gratitude, Covered with Love, Inc.
