Thanks, Frank

Every year, more than 80 Matheny Medical and Educational Center patients attempt to raise money for the annual Miles for Matheny fundraiser and community event by creating their own personal Web pages on the Miles for Matheny Web site. And every year since 2003, Frank Allocca, owner of the Sussex Honda and Intercar Inc. Mercedes-Benz car dealerships in Newton, has made sure that each of them meets their fundraising goal. This year, Allocca donated $5,600 to make that happen. Matheny is a hospital in Peapack for children and adults with medically complex developmental disabilities. Miles for Matheny, held Sunday, April 22, in downtown Peapack, is a multi-faceted event including a wheelchair walk, cycling rides, a 5K run, a kids fun run and a celebration picnic. Funds raised help support Matheny’s outpatient clinic, which provides medical, dental and therapy services to people with disabilities in 12 New Jersey counties.
