Lakeland Pools plans fourth annual toy drive
VERNON — Lakeland Pools & Spas would like to announce that they are holding their Fourth Annual Toy Drive in Loving Memory of Harrison Shauger.
Harrison was born on Aug. 2, 2006, with a Congenital Heart Defect knows as Tetralogy of Fallot. Harrison was well known at the store, in school and around the community for his giant smile and silly demeanor that would steal the hearts of everyone he came in contact with. Harrison lost his battle with his heart condition on March 26, 2013 after multiple surgeries and cardiac catheterizations.
The toy drive is in honor of Harrisons 10th birthday this year. Last year the toy drive took in over 800 toys that were then donated to the Pediatric Center for Heart Disease in Hackensack. Harrison made frequent visits to this very office for heart checks. Every visit he made, he always walked out with a smile and toy in hand as they always had a little something to give to him at the end of his visit. The Shauger family would like to continue putting smiles on these precious children who battle heart disease everyday by doing these donations every year for Harrsion’s birthday.
New toys (no stuffed animals please) for ages newborn to teen can now be dropped off at multiple locations again this year: Lakeland Pools & Spas 257 Route 94 in Vernon, Lakeland Bank 529 Route 515 in Vernon, Vernon Valley Karate Academy 3 Theta Drive in Vernon, Town II Auto Body 97 Route 23 in Hamburg, CKO Kickboxing 44 Mitchell Avenue in Franklin, Lorenzos Pizza, 67 Main Street in Sussex, Sussex United Methodist Church 15 Bank Street in Sussex, Sussex Wesleyan Church 25 Second Street in Sussex, Giant Gymnastics 34 White Lake Road in Sparta, Simon Peter Sport Company 660 US Route 206 in Newton, The Augusta Barber Shop 89 Hampton House Road in Newton, The Augusta Body Shop 89 Hampton House Road in Newton, and Track 7 Postal Center 3 Forester Avenue in Warwick .
