Waldwick March 23, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • Page 13 The Waldwick business community and business owners from neighboring towns are pulling together to help a Waldwick family cope with huge medical expenses due to daunting medical challenges. Laura Adams, who along with her husband Chuck owns Take Away Gourmet, an off-site catering business located at 26 E. Prospect Ave, Waldwick, has been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia, AML. Laura had been seeking extensive treatment at Cornell Medical Center and now has been transferred to Hackensack University Medical.

Chamber members and other interested citizens are being asked to donate a gift certificate or gift card in the $15 to $25 range or larger for products or services at their place of business. Tickets for the raffle will then be sold throughout the area at $10 each, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to help alleviate the family’s rising medical expenses. Businesses unable to donate a gift card are asked to consider a donation directly to Laura Adams. Since 2006 Chuck and Laura at Take Away Gourmet have produced countless memorable events for social and corporate functions. They have also given back to the community by working together with Waldwick’s Community Alliance as well as several local charities. “Over and over again, the Adams have helped those in need, and now it’s time for us to help them get through this very difficult and challenging time,” said Figliulo in a BEST PRICES...BEST SELECTION OF 2011 WEBER GRILLS WEBER continues to lead the way with impressive new look, thoughtful features, larger cooking area, legendary cooking system and the construction that made WEBER famous! �� � � � � ���� ��� Enjoy The Spring And Many More With A New WEBER Grill In Your Backyard letter asking for support, giving specific examples of the Adams’s generosity. Their first good deed was when they opened their kitchen to create and jar over 800 quarts of pasta sauce to raise funds for Bridges for Katie. This project helped raise money to install a handicapped-access ramp for a local teenager who is wheelchair-bound. Their next good deed was Rainbows for Robin. Again they opened their kitchen to help assemble 600 mason jars with dry cookie dough ingredients which were sold to help raise funds for a local woman with cancer. Most recently, Chuck and Laura again offered their food preparation knowledge and skills for Super Bowl Subs for Kisses 4 Kelly. They were able to help make and sell over 400 foot-long subs to help offset the rising medical costs of a local high school student suffering from a brain tumor. “The business community of Waldwick and the surrounding towns have all stepped up in full force to support this cause. Gourmet baskets, certificates, gift cards, products and services have all been generously donated,” said Figliuolo. “On behalf of the Adams family, we thank everyone who has taken the time to spread good-will throughout the community.” Donations will continue to be accepted until March 24; pickup can be arranged.
