NJ SHARES Night at the BlueClaws

Sold Out Crowd Greets New Jersey SHARES at BlueClaws Game!
Sold Out Crowd Greets New Jersey SHARES at BlueClaws Game
It was a beautiful summer night as a sell out crowd of over 8,000 fans were on hand to watch the Lakewood BlueClaws defeat Lake County Captains.
Alberto Cambero scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the BlueClaws a 6-5 walk-off victory over the Lake County Captains on Friday night at FirstEnergy Park.
It was a great evening of friendship building and awareness raising for New Jersey SHARES and our thanks goes out to the BlueClaws for their support.
New Jersey SHARES would also like to thank our event sponsors Jersey Central Power & Light, A FirstEnergy Company, and New Jersey Natural Gas for a great evening!

This marked the first time the two organizations have held one, seamless event combining the two conferences they had held on consecutive days since the mid-1980s.
