Press release from Red Bank Regional High School

Founded as a School-Based Youth Services Program whose mission is to remove all obstacles that impede students’ academic success, The SOURCE at Red Bank Regional High School has done much to make dreams come true for the young people of the community. Ten years ago, the foundation inaugurated another successful stepping-stone to connect qualifying Latino students with access to a college education, through the establishment of the Andrew Kroon Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Named in memory of the son of Mary Jane and Rick Kroon of Rumson (a noted environmentalist and global traveler who passed away in 2005 at age 24), and operating under the auspices of The SOURCE at Red Bank Regional (RBR), the Andrew Kroon scholarship is funded in part each year through a fashion show and gift auction event that presents its 2016 edition on the afternoon of Sunday, February 21.

Going on between the hours of 12 to 3 pm, and hosted at The Oyster Point Hotel, the event spotlights fashions furnished by Tula the Butique and The Sport Spot in Shrewsbury. Lenormand readings will be offered by Earth Spirit Intuitive Card Reader Erika Robinson, and the event also features a 50/50 raffle, a raffle basket auction, and one-of-a kind jewelry by LeCharme for purchase.

Tickets to the February 21 event are $50 per person, which includes the fashion show and lunch. For tickets, contact SOURCE Director Suzanne Keller at (732)842-8000 ext. 1236, or email [email protected]. Tickets can also be purchased online through the SOURCE website.

Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"
