Team Tigger is doing nothing more than counting our blessings this month, as we reflect on several humbling accomplishments over the past few weeks. With our 7th Annual Infinity event coming to a close with great success, we have been determined to continue the momentum in our community. From our sold out golf outing to being named the Spinnaker Awards, "Non-Profit Organization of the Year" by the EMACC, we are far from slowing down!
Without the continuous support of our donors, our community and our school partners, we would not be able to tackle the job ahead; to fight addiction, spread awareness and save lives through education. As always, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Dan Duddy at Lacey Township High School |
|
In collaboration with SAC Elyse Winkle, the Tigger Stavola Foundation was able to sponsor speaker Dan Duddy at Lacey Township High School on October 31st, for over 1,200 students. Mr. Duddy is a motivational speaker who inspires individuals on life’s greatest challenges through compassion and humor. We were on site to both listen to his message and meet with the students of Lacey Township. It is humbling to be able to provide school districts like Lacey Township with the additional tools and resources needed to educate and motivate their students.
Student Assistance Coordinator, Elyse Winkle of Lacey Township High School said, "Our school has been collaborating with the Tigger Stavola Foundation to help young people in our community become more educated about the negative effects of substance abuse. Tigger's generous partnership allowed for our entire student body to see an emotional presentation from Dan Duddy about destructive decisions. Our students and staff were moved by his powerful message and we are extremely thankful for the foundations sponsorship. This is just the beginning of a wonderful relationship and we look forward to our future!"

Many thanks to our neighbor, Amboy Bank (Red Bank Branch), for showing an interest in the Tigger Stavola Foundation.

We are grateful for this generous grant, and excited to continue building this relationship.
Thank you again to Amboy Bank!

TSF Visits Wall High School |
|
The Tigger Stavola Foundation was truly inspired after attending the Wall High School Parent Talk Program - "Raising Teens Against Time", which took place on Wednesday, November 2nd.
We were thrilled to have fostered this new relationship with Wall, and thank them for providing drug education to both students and parents during such a pivotal time in their lives. Our missions certainly do align, making it a match made in heaven!

2nd Annual Danny Gaughran Golf Outing |
|
October 17th proved to be yet another eventful day for the Foundation, as the rain held off for the 2nd Annual Danny Gaughran Memorial Golf Outing. In collaboration with The Butchers Block and The Reclaimed Foundation, the event held at Trump National, Colts Neck was not only a wonderful day for the golfers, but a successful one for all three organizations as we celebrated the lives of Danny Gaughran and Tigger Stavola.
Raffle prizes, including six different golf foursomes, signature golf bags, a custom Yeti cooler, endless baskets and of course, a Block dinner for four, were one of the many reasons that the event was sold out for the second year in a row.
Many of our successes are due to our event sponsors whose generosity and kind spirit make each event not only successful, but one to remember. All proceeds from the day are used by each organization solely to benefit students in our area.

GoFundMe established in Bryan's Memory |
A heartfelt thank you to Tigger Stavola Foundation Ambassador, Dr. Kristen Spencer for always thinking of ways to help those in our community.
Dr. Spencer established a GoFundMe in memory of her brother Bryan, who lost his life in October 2020 after a courageous battle with addiction. She then decided to graciously donate the proceeds to TSF.
In an effort to partner with like-minded organizations, TSF decided to support the ZZAK Applaud Our Kids Foundation Gala, by sponsoring a child for one year of music lessons in Bryans name. Bryan loved music and so we could not think of a better allocation for these funds. Click the link for more information about ZZAK Applaud Our Kids Foundation

During the week of November 14, DEA field divisions across the country hosted Family Summits in their community to bring together families who have lost loved ones to drug overdoses, federal partners and community prevention groups.
These families are working to prevent others from experiencing the tragic loss of a loved one. The local summits will provide opportunities to share information, build connections, and foster collaboration between family groups, DEA, non-profits and other key sectors of their local community.
The Tigger Stavola Foundation was invited to the Inaugural Summit held this week in Newark and given the opportunity to share Tiggers story and learn about the measures the state of NJ is taking to prevent illegal drugs from entering the state. The Foundation is proud to have been recognized and invited to this groundbreaking event.

As many of our supporters already know; Carley Dietrick, has left the Tigger Stavola Foundation. Carley has been with the foundation over 3 years and has had many roles within the organization. She could be seen around town with her famous smile, a Tigger pin on her lapel and a fabulous pair of sneakers.
As she moves on, we would like to thank her for her time and commitment to the Foundation and wish her the best on her next venture. We will certainly miss her!
If you or a loved one needs help please continue to reach out to the Foundation at 732-865-1559. We are always here for you!
