June 11, 2012 – Cherry Hill, NJ – A pair of leading South Jersey business owners showed late Friday that the health and well‐being of the most vulnerable among us is one of their top priorities. Delivering on a promise they made last month, Stu Shiroff of Lee Newman Fine Men’s Clothing and Tehen Fine Women’s Clothing and Jason Wolf of WCRE visited the CARES Institute at the UMDNJ School of Osteopathic Medicine and made a generous donation they worked together to raise.
“For nearly twenty five years, the CARES Institute has been providing a lifeline and a way forward for children in South Jersey, and we are so happy to contribute to its work with this gift to the Foundation of UMDNJ,” said Stu Shiroff, owner of the Lee Newman Shops. The Institute provides medical and social services to children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Martin A. Finkel, DO, FAAP, founder and director of the Institute, led Shiroff, Wolf, and Leor Hemo, executive vice president, WCRE, on a tour and accepted their check for UMDNJ.
“Nobody should have to endure what the children at the CARES Institute have experienced. As a parent and a member of the community I am proud to help further the incredible work of Dr. Finkel and his team,” said WCRE’s Jason Wolf.
Shiroff and Wolf raised the donation money by co‐sponsoring an event in May along with Caffe Aldo Labmberti to promote the Buy Camden County initiative, which encourages residents to choose local businesses. It was the first of many Buy Camden County events planned over the coming months. Future events will include other local businesses in the effort to support the CARES Institute.
