Daisy Association Fundraiser will include food, massages, hair and fashion tips and a few surprises.
Ken Freedman knows a little bit about taking care of children. During his more than three decades as a chiropractor, Dr. Freedman has taken care of more than his share of children. That’s why he has decided to hand over the keys to his Freedman Chiropractic Center for one evening to help the Daisy Association by holding the Ladies Night of Indulgence on Thursday, June 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. “I’m a father of a couple of kids myself and I think the greatest impact I can have as a chiropractor is to help young people develop in the best way they can,” said Dr. Freedman. They Daisy Association supports the Daisy Program, which seeks to provide a full range of recreational opportunities for children and young adults with special needs. Through …

The Daisy recreation program provides people with special needs with a variety of activities and support.
From the outside, the building located near the back of Bicentennial Park is a hodge-podge of two awkwardly connected structures, with the original, brick-faced building standing in stark contrast to the more modern yellow building it’s connected with. But inside, the connection is seamless, with shiny floors and clean walls joining the two buildings into one. Much like Daisy Center building, the Daisy Program also seeks to seamlessly join two elements that, in another day and age, may not have always been a perfect fit by providing a full range of recreational opportunities for children and young adults with special needs. Through summer activities and sports, arts and music, field trips and even evening activities, the Daisy Program …

The 28th Annual Ralph Lamo Daisy Breakfast is scheduled for Sunday, April 10.
Even a simple activity, maybe a bowling trip with some friends, can make a world of difference to someone with a disability. Thanks to the township’s Daisy Recreation Program, activities for young people with special needs–including games, parties, fitness and exercise classes and a summer camp program--are common place, and they’ve been making a world of difference for close to 50 years right here in East Brunswick. “We provide these folks the chance to participate in programs and opportunities they may not obviously get a chance to participate in,” said Michael Reissner, manager of the township’s Division of Recreation and Community Services. On Sunday, April 10, the Annual Ralph Lamo Memorial Breakfast will be held from 8 a.m. to noon …

I volunteered at Camp Daisy for two summers growing up, when I was a student at Churchill. I learned so many life lessons through that experience, including a lifelong love of volunteering to help others. I still remember each of the kids in the groups I helped to supervise. We'd swim at Dallenbach's every morning, then caravan back to Bicentennial Park for lunch and afternoon programming. We … more ›
