Thank you to all who supported our booth at Wyckoff
Day. It was a big success! We also thank Eastern Christian
Elementary for their Food Drive.
The Northern Regional Center needs paper goods and
cleaning supplies for our families, such as toilet paper,
paper towels, tissues, laundry detergent, and non-toxic
cleaning supplies. Many of our children need to be in a
sterile environment while their immunity builds. We also
need healthy summer snacks and drinks for our kids.
Summer is a slow time for us. Schools close and many
people are away on vacation. Our families continue to
struggle. Please consider having your camp, swim team,
co-workers, or other group, host a food collection or fund-
raiser for us during these lean months.
We would also appreciate donations of tickets to Sesame
Place. Meet Molly: Molly was diagnosed with neuroblastoma
when she was four years old. She is currently going through
treatment, which is very aggressive. Because of Molly’s
bad reaction to this treatment, her doctors performed stem
cell rescue, which can also be very dangerous. She will
continue to receive treatments for several more weeks. Her
parents are by her side, but they also need emotional sup-
port and time for themselves. While their case worker can
provide some relief, your donation of gift cards (Walmart,
Toys R Us), dolls, or children’s books would be greatly
appreciated. ECF is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to
provide a variety of specialized services at no charge to
any New Jersey family facing the challenges of caring
for a child with cancer. We provide direct in-home care
to families. Our focus is providing families with counsel-
ing by a professional case worker, material goods (such as
household items, toys, and monthly grocery deliveries),
and emergency financial assistance. These individually tai-
lored services are critical in helping families get through
the crisis of pediatric cancer.
ECF does not receive any government funding and
therefore relies on donations from the community. Please
call the Northern Regional Center at (201) 612-8118 or e-
mail Laura at laura@emmanuelcancer.org to learn more.
Consider turning your next event into a fundraiser, and
collect checks or gift cards for our families. Anyone look-
ing for a community service project is encouraged to hold a
food collection to benefit our pantry. If your company has a
charitable giving program, please let us know.
We currently need volunteers who can deliver groceries
to families in Bergen and Essex counties.
Kids and Scouts are welcome to get involved, too. Sev-
eral local youths have helped our families by donating
the proceeds from Bake Sales, Yard Sales, and lemonade
stands. Get creative!
If you have a few hours a week to spare, consider becom-
ing a volunteer, or just stop by and meet with us, take a
look at our food pantry, and see what ECF is all about. The
Northern Regional Center is located at 174 Paterson Avenue
in Midland Park. Please call us at (201) 612-8118 before
you stop by. Because storage space is limited, please do
not leave items at the center without checking with us first.
For more information, please visit us on the web at www.
emmanuelcancer.org or “like” us on Facebook: Emmanu-
elCancerFoundation. As always, thank you for helping the
children and their families!
Wyckoff Stolen car recovered; man charged
with trying to cash fraudulent check
The Wyckoff Police Department has announced the
recovery of a Lincoln Town Car that was stolen from a poll-
ing place.
The 1999 Lincoln was recovered on June 10 with the
help of the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office, which
called to say that the Passaic County agency had recovered
a vehicle stolen in Wyckoff on June 3 during the election.
An election worker had parked the vehicle outside the poll-
ing place at the Cedar Hill Christian Church.
An officer of the Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office was
operating an automated license plate reader in Paterson and
identified the license plate on the stolen car. The 28-year-
old Paterson man who was driving the car was stopped. He
claimed he had purchased the car for $500 from someone
he could not identify. The Passaic County officer charged
the driver with possession of stolen property, and Wyckoff
Police Department returned the car to its rightful owner.
On June 6, Sergeant Kevin Kasak and Patrolman
Michael Teegan responded to a call from the Chase Bank at
525 Cedar Hill Avenue. An employee reported that some-
one inside the bank was attempting to cash what appeared
to be a counterfeit check.
Police learned that a New York-based business that had
purportedly printed the check had reported multiple fraud-
ulent check cashing incidents in amounts of under $1,000
in recent weeks. The check in Wyckoff was identified as
counterfeit and the 19-year-old Middletown, New York
man who was attempting to cash the check was arrested
and charged with attempting to cash a fraudulent check. He
was sent to Bergen County Jail in default of $5,000 bail.
