    BY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun

    On Saturday, May 11, the CysticFibrosis Foundation will be host-ing its annual fundraiser, theGreat Strides walk-a-thon, at Mer-cer County Park in West Windsor.

    Great Strides is the CFFslargest national fundraisingevent. It draws more than 250,000walkers each year who all have acommon goal to find a cure forCF.

    CF is a devastating genetic dis-ease that affects tens of thou-

    sands of children and youngadults in the United States. Re-search and care supported by theCFF are making a huge differ-ence in the lives of those livingwith CF.

    In 2012, nearly $40 million wasraised to help support life-savingresearch, quality care and educa-tion programs, according to thefoundations website.

    Lawrenceville resident LeeTockman, whose 12-year-old sonhas been living with CF since he

    was 1-week-old, used to partici-pate in Somersets division of therace until it was discontinued.

    They stopped that walk, so wehavent done it in a few years, butwe reconnected with someone atthe CFF who started a new walkat Mercer County Park, Tock-man said.

    Anyone can attend the walkand/or join Tockmans team, andall proceeds go directly to theCFF.

    Its the biggest fundraiserthey do everywhere, and itshelped them make huge advance-ments, Tockman said.

    Proceeds from the event havehelped fund different types of re-search, which, in turn, have gen-erated different types of medica-tion, such as Kalydeco.

    In 2012, the FDA approved Ka-lydeco, the first drug made avail-able to treat the underlying defectin CF, rather than treating justthe symptoms, Tockman said.

    This drug may possibly be acure for certain strands of CF, hesaid.

    Since CF is a spectrum of dis-ease dependent on the specific in-dividualized genetic mutation, in-

    dividualized repairs of the defectrequire individualized fixes.

    Now that Vertex, the maker ofKalydeco, has shown successwith this individualized geneticmutation treatment, it and nu-

    merous other drug companies areinvestigating other moleculesthat may correct the abnormalCFTR protein and correct or im-prove the abnormalities associat-ed with numerous other CF muta-

    tions, according to the CFF.This drug could be life-chang-

    ing to those living with CF, sincemedical bills associated with thedisease can be astronomical.

    Medication is very expen-

    sive, Tockman said. My son hasthree different nebulizer treat-ments. One of them is close to$1,000 per month, a vest he has is

    Money is always an issue.

    Families are constantly

    pinching pennies, looking

    for ways to reduce expenses. School

    districts and municipal governments

    are doing the same, hoping to help

    lower, or at least stabilize, the amount

    of tax money they require to live intown.

    The challenge has always been, and

    will continue to be, how these entities

    can control costs while still providing

    high-quality services that their resi-

    dents demand. The state of New Jersey

    certainly isnt helping much through

    aid, and its unlikely that will change

    any time soon.

    So the onus is on the local municipal

    governments and school districts to get

    creative: Not only what can be cut from

    expenses, but what can be added to rev-

    enues.

    For awhile now, the idea of private

    sponsorship of public facilities has

    been tossed around. Selling banners to

    local businesses at Little League fields,

    or having that business sponsor ayouth sports team has been the norm

    for quite some time. And no one seems

    to have a problem with that.

    But throw in the possibility of sell-

    ing naming rights at a field or, worse

    even, a building or complex, and excep-

    tions start to arise. When is enough

    enough? the detractors ask. Does

    everything need to be sold?We agree that there is a fine line be-

    tween tasteful, effective sponsorship

    and over-the-line, banner-on-every-

    inch-of-the-field advertising. Think

    Major League 2 here (for all you

    sports movie fans).

    Moorestown Township recently ap-

    proved an ordinance on first reading

    that, if passed, would establish an offi-

    cial sponsorship program. Officials

    say that the program would increase

    township revenues and help with im-

    provements and maintenance of recre-

    ational fields.

    Annual banner and sponsorship op-

    portunities will be available, with nam-ing rights being offered as five- or 10-

    year deals, with minimum bids of

    $5,000 and $35,000, respectively. To en-

    sure proper material, businesses wont

    be allowed to advertise the sale of alco-

    hol, tobacco, adult-oriented material or

    other items not consistent with pro-

    moting the youth sports program and

    the positive image of the township.

    We applaud Moorestown Township

    for its work in this regard, and we urge

    other townships to follow suit.

    If done correctly, sponsorships and

    naming rights can provide a huge in-

    flux of cash to youth sports leagues, to

    school districts and to municipal gov-

    ernments.

    This field brought to you by...Its time for governments, schools to utilize sponsorships at fields, buildings

    Too much advertising?

    Do you agree that sponsorship is a goodidea? Or do you think that enough isenough? Let us know your thoughtsthrough a letter to the editor

    $12,000 and he sees a doctor everythree to four months. Its definite-ly expensive.

    The proceeds from GreatStrides have made it possible fordrugs like Kalydeco to exist, andfor ongoing research efforts toprogress.

    This is why the CFF has coined

    its Great Strides motto WalkToday. Add Tomorrows.The walk raises awareness

    about CF for people, but the fact

    that it raises a lot of money fordifferent programs whether itsfor the development of medica-tion or paying for medication forpeople who cant afford it is veryimportant, Tockman said. Forpeople to show up and supportthis is crucial, and its great tohave that awareness as well.

    Great Strides at Mercer CountyPark is scheduled to begin at 10a.m. on May 11. There is no cost to

    join the race.People who wish to participate

    ture a selection of eight vendorsfrom New Jersey and Pennsylva-nia.

    Over the years, weve beengoing to the same growers to getplants because our access to gar-deners is very limited, Ben-civengo said. This year, we de-cided we really wanted to dosomething different and supplyplants that the public and MGs

    havent normally had access to.So, we changed it up and are hav-ing handpicked vendors whowed like to see and who are

    bringing things we havent beenable to offer in the past.

    These specialty vendors will

    be selling a variety of plants, in-cluding native perennials, annu-als, vines, trees, shrubs, succu-lents, herbs, terrariums, fernsand wild plants.

    In this area, you dont getthese vendors all together in onespot; its very rare, Bencivengosaid. Were thinking that thisyears event could be even betterthan it normally is for us.

    The event will also include aninteractive Q&A with Mercer

    County Horticulturist BarbaraBromley, as well as advicefrom various MGs, who will bewalking around to assist cus-

    tomers in choosing the rightplant for the right spot, the MGmotto.

    We try to educate the publicabout responsible gardening,Bencivengo said. Theres a pushfrom our organization to plantnative plants. If theyre native, itmakes sense that theyre going togrow the best here.

    Every year, the MGs gatherplants from various membersgardens in processes known asbig digs. The plants acquiredfrom the big digs account forabout half of what is sold at the

    Expo.Theodora Wang, aLawrenceville resident and 10-year MG, used to coordinate thebig digs and continues to par-ticipate in the process.

    A group of MGs goes to anoth-er members house that has a sur-plus of plants and helps dig themup and pot them for the Expo,she said. There were four bigdigs this year. We got severalhundred plants.

    Although Wang has been heav-

    ily involved with the Expo in thepast, shes taking a more laidback role this year. Shell be incharge of the holding area,where customers can drop offtheir purchases while they shopfor more items.

    The sale has grown andgrown every year to the pointwhere we try to make it an educa-tional event as well as our majorfundraiser, Bencivengo said.Between what we have pur-chased and what we donatedfrom our garden, we giveadvice to customers on whatplant would work where, and wetry to promote what to do with itnext how to plant it. We likethem to go away with a little edu-cation.

    The Plant Expo will be held,rain or shine, at Mercer Educa-tional Gardens, which is locatedat 431A Federal City Road inHopewell, adjacent to the MercerCounty Equestrian Center. The

    event is free and open to the pub-lic.
