    A sea of purple shirts descend-ed upon the Voorhees Town Cen-ter on Jan. 19 when the AliciaRose Victorious Foundation helda day service event to coincidewith Martin Luther King, Jr. Dayand the start of national TeenCancer Awareness Week.

    Hundreds of members of thepublic, most of them teenagers,were on hand at the event to giveback by making cards of encour-agement, crafting bandanabracelets and assembling teenkits for other teenagers withcancer.

    Even members of the SouthJersey Ballet Company did theirpart to bring awareness to teenswith cancer by performing multi-ple flash mob dances for thosesimply walking throughout thetown center.

    Our goals for the week are tocreate as much awareness as we

    can to hospitalized adolescentswho fit a different populationthan the traditional youngerchild that goes to the hospital,ARVF co-founder Gisele DiNatalesaid.

    ARVF was founded 12 yearsago after Alicia Rose DiNatale,daughter of Gisele and VoorheesDeputy Mayor Mario DiNatale,passed away from cancer at theage of 16.

    During Alicias time in the hos-pital, she was disappointed thatthere was no real place forteenaged patients to spend theirtime, so Alicias parents honored

    her memory by starting theARVF non-profit, with the goal ofinstalling a teen lounge at theChildrens Hospital of Philadel-phia where Alicia underwent 13

    months of chemotherapy treat-ments and procedures.

    More than a decade and 61 teenlounges at hospitals throughoutthe country later, the foundation

    continues its work trying to im-

    prove the time spent by teens inhospitals through methods suchas lounges, sponsoring socialevents and shipping close to 2,000teen kits a year.

    DiNatale describes the teenkits, which were diligently assem-bled during the service event, ascinch sacks filled with comfortitems and programming designedto distract and entertain teenswhile in the hospital.

    Typical kits include games,crafts, night-lights, a deck ofcards, lip balm, mints and even

    just socks that are decorated withcartoon characters typical ofmany childrens hospitals.

    They like that because whenyoure newly diagnosed and youhave to spend a week, sometimesmany weeks in the hospital, its

    just nice to have something thatsa little older and not so babyishfor yourself, DiNatale said.

    One teenager at the event help-ing assemble teen kits was

    Voorhees resident Molly Gross-man, a 17-year-old Eastern HighSchool senior and member of theAlicia Rose Student AdvisoryBoard.

    Grossman, who is in her sev-enth year working with the foun-dation, said that although she did-nt personally know Alicia, theylived in the same community and

    ZANE CLARK/The SunThe Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation kicked off national Teen Cancer Awareness Week by hosting a dayof service on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at the Voorhees Town Center. ARVF was founded to honorVoorhees resident Alicia Rose DiNatale, who passed away from cancer at age 16, by raising money tobuild lounges for teenaged patients at hospitals throughout the country.

    ts no secret that our governor,

    Chris Christie, is debating a run

    for president of the United States

    in 2016. While he hasnt officially an-

    nounced whether he will throw his hat

    into the ring, many believe he will do

    so within the next few months.

    In recent speeches, Christies focus

    has been on bigger national issues.

    Last summer and fall, during election

    season, he traveled all over the coun-

    try and helped fellow Republicans

    campaign for gubernatorial seats.

    This past weekend, he traveled to Iowa

    for a Republican summit.

    All signs point to Christie announc-

    ing his candidacy for president. Butwould he make a good president?

    According to a poll released last

    week, New Jersey voters dont think

    so. A Quinnipiac University poll found

    that 57 percent of registered voters in

    New Jersey did not think Christie

    would make a good president. Almost

    one-third of Republicans polled didnt

    think Christie would be a good presi-

    dent, along with 78 percent of Democ-

    rats and 59 percent of independents.

    In the same poll, 52 percent of Gar-den State voters said they would

    choose Democrat Hillary Clinton over

    Christie in a hypothetical election be-

    tween the two.

    Christie has won two gubernatorial

    elections in New Jersey by a wide

    margin in a predominantly Demo-

    cratic state but apparently our

    states voters dont think hed be good

    for the higher post. Its not altogether

    surprising, and not a death sentence

    for a potential bid for president either.

    The last president from New Jersey,

    Woodrow Wilson, didnt win his own

    state, after all.

    Maybe New Jersey voters just dont

    think Christies personality would

    work well running our country. Or

    maybe they dont think his politics

    would work on a global scale. Ormaybe they just want their governor

    to concentrate on New Jersey while

    hes still in that post.

    in our opinion

    WouldChristie make agood prez?New Jersey votersdont think so

    Your thoughts

    Do you think our Gov. Christie would makea good president? Share your thoughts onthis, and other topics, through a letter tothe editor.

    letter to the editor

    State of the County

    The future isbright in CamdenCounty and thestate of the county

    is strong as wemove into 2015.

    The Freeholdershave expandedour activities andprograms for dis-abled children andadults, and in-creased our efforts to providebetter services to our veteransand senior citizens. The visionplan for Cooper River Park con-tinues to evolve and construc-tion started on several portions

    of the 400-acre park. We alsocompleted enhancements onseveral other parks throughoutthe county.

    In 2014 we took a big step for-ward to combat the disease ofopiate dependence by commis-sioning an Addiction Aware-ness Task Force. The goals ofthe task force are to raiseawareness of this problem andto connect those in need ofservice with treatmentproviders.

    Many improvements in thecounty infrastructure weremade in 2014 and will continuein the new year. We finished allmajor dam repairs and madesignificant bridge improve-ments. In addition, the state De-partment of Transportationranked Camden County as oneof the best performing countiesin the transportation trust fundgrant management program.

    In the category of PublicSafety, 2014 was an extraordi-nary year. There were 1,629fewer victims of crime on thestreets of Camden City com-pared to just two years ago.Homicides have been cut inhalf and shootings have de-clined by 46 percent. Onceagain, children are playing inthe parks and playgrounds ofthe city just as children do in

    every other mu-nicipality in Cam-den County.

    By building on

    these accomplish-ments and others,2015 will be aneven better year.The public safetyimprovements inCamden City andthe Economic Op-

    portunity Act of 2013 will re-sult in the private investmentof hundreds of millions of dol-lars over the next five years.These investments will createmore than 10,000 jobs as busi-

    nesses from all over the worldexpand or relocate in ourcounty seat.

    Furthermore, 2015 will be theyear that the unemploymentrate decreases as more resi-dents go back to work in whatwill be a historic economic re-covery in Camden City. The pri-vate investment in CamdenCity will increase the numberof residents throughout ourcounty, increase real estate val-ues and increase tax retables.Remember, a rising tide lifts allboats.

    In order to meet the new de-mand for employees, CamdenCounty and its agencies willdouble down on its efforts with

    job training and literacy pro-grams. We stand ready, willingand able to assist any and allcompanies in preparing ourworkforce for the new jobs thatwill be created in the comingyears.

    Listen and pay attentionto help our children

    Bone chilling about two

    teens committing suicide is cor-rect. Heart wrenching and infuri-ating that teen suicide is on therampant rise. Reading your edito-rial has brought me to sobbingtears before bed.

    Many of us can't understandtheir reasons for taking their ownlives not that we won't. If we asparents and "the village" commu-nity elders actually listen and payattention, perhaps we can reallyhelp our children to become

    happy, productive and responsi-ble participants in our villages.

    I have no knowledge of thesetwo incidents in BurlingtonCounty, and truly my heart hurtsfor their families. So I am notplacing any kind of blame or ac-cusing anyone of anything.

    Yet lets look at generalitiesamong our children, in Voorheesspecifically. Voorhees, however, Ifeel is reflective of many commu-nities around the country.

    We live in an affluent commu-

    nity with a fairly diverse people.We have million dollar homes anddouble-digit homes. We have fourgrade schools that are equal, butlet's be honest, ask any parentand they can tell you which theythink are the preferred schoolsand why.

    We have parents living vicari-ously through their children. Wehave sports stars and beautyqueens. We have kids playingmultiple travel sports with train-

    ers. We have children wearing de-signer clothes to school, using de-signer handbags to tote books. Weeven have children drinking de-signer lattes after school and chil-dren driving designer cars toschool. Honestly, doesn't this all

    seem too much?Are these material items what

    our children crave? Or are theyjust seeking acceptance for whothey are? Do they think they need

    these things to be accepted? Dothey feel that they are lacking andaren't worthy of being accepted"as is?"

    I'm a daughter of a blue-collarworker who never had a designeritem until I was able to buy it formyself. I gave my parents 20 per-cent of my income whenever Iearned a buck because they toldme to. I lived in their house wellafter the age of being legal, buttheir rules were what governed

    me. Being legal meant nothing tothem as long as they were payingmy car insurance, my college tu-ition and my room and board.

    So as for me, I can't understandwhat my children face daily, but Iwant to. I ask questions of mychildren and we discuss schooland their friends constantly. Wetalk about what's really impor-tant and what makes us happy.We pray and seek our religion

    often. I stay involved and discusswith other parents to find the vil-lage elders I want closest to mychildren.

    I think I am open-minded and

    fair. My network is a large, finan-cially and culturally diverse mix.There is no clear-cut answer, andsadly in my heart, I know that tobe true. Yet perhaps when we giveour young ones hugs tonight wecan all tell them how special andunique they are. Maybe we cansee into their hearts and havethem see ours. We can validatethem and tell them how much weaccept and appreciate theirunique gift to each of our lives.

    went to all the same schools, andhaving learned that they wereboth very outgoing and social

    people, Grossman has tried toview things how Alicia mighthave.

    What kept me staying reallyinvolved was seeing the impactthat it has on these kids and howdifferent their experiences in thehospital were than Alicias,Grossman said. I know Giselebelieves this would have beensuch a great thing for Alicia tohave, so Im more than thrilled tobe able to give it to other teensand other peers.

    Grossman said she hoped oth-ers her age will continue to volun-teer and reach out to those amongthem who are sick and dealingwith illness, so no one has to feelalone.

    Thats the most importantpart that youre not alone,Grossman said. Even if theydont personally know you, peo-ple care about your fight.

    DiNatale echoed Grossmanssentiments, and said the kids at

    the Jan. 19 event get it and theyknow they could have just as easi-ly been one of the teens the foun-dation helps.

    They either know someone orthey can put themselves in themindset of what it would be likeif they couldnt go to school, Di-Natale said. Here they have aday off, but kids in the hospital,its not a day off for them, so Ithink they feel really good aboutbeing able to help.

    Phillips describes the event asa wonderful night of fashion andfun, but also a chance to raise

    awareness for a good cause.My dad passed away frombone marrow cancer, multiplemyeloma, Phillips said. I al-ways try and raise awareness andfund any type of cancer researchor anything to do with fightingcancer.

    Phillips said that in addition toher personal connection to thedisease, she knows shes blessedto have so many people willing tocome to see her work, when theycould just as easily be doing any-

    thing else, anywhere else, in theworld at that time.

    With that sentiment in mind,Phillips said its only right to herthat she uses her show to giveback to others.

    I realized that through thisevent, its like a vehicle to helpother people, Phillips said. Imblessed enough to get over 200people, its an awesome night. Imthankful that they want to comeand see my clothing line.

    Phillips said her interest infashion dates back to her earlychildhood, with her mothers sideof the family full of people whosew and business-oriented people.

    She first started sketching at ayoung age, learned to sew as shegot older and did what work shecould in her schools home eco-nomics course. By her senioryear at Cherry Hill High SchoolEast, she received the Golden KeyAward from University of theArts, an award usually bestowed

    upon students already in college.While working as a merchan-

    diser and quality control design-er, she received a degree in fash-ion design from the Philadelphia

    College of Textiles and Sciences.

    When I was younger, I hateddresses because I was a bit of atomboy, but look at me now I de-sign dresses. Its crazy Phillipssaid.

    Since that time, Phillips hasworked as an entrepreneur in thefashion business, starting herown company and opening herown business, all the while neverforgetting the importance of help-ing the next generation.

    For up and coming fashion fa-

    natics age 11-16, Phillips alsohosts Fashion University, asummer camp where she teachesthose interested in all aspects offashion, including sewing, fieldtrips to Manhattans GarmentDistrict and Philadelphias Fash-ion Row, illustration, patternmaking and even the chance tohave their work displayed at the

    Semantics show on Feb. 7.

    When they finish, they maketwo garments, I allow them toopen my fashion show, Phillipssaid. I want them to see how areal fashion show goes.

    For that reason, and many oth-ers, Phillips invites the public tocome out to Semantics and raisesome money for cancer aware-ness.

    I would like for them (the pub-lic) to come out to the show andsupport it, Phillips said.

    Semantics will take place onSaturday, Feb. 7, at the Historic23rd Street Armory in Philadel-phia, with tickets costing $65.

    Those looking for more infor-mation or to purchase tickets areasked to please visitchristinephillipsonline.com/se-mantics-fashion-show-fundraiser-2715.
