Brandon's House

06/06/2024

Thank you, Laurie Gordon The Township Journal for covering our ribbon cutting ceremony at Skylands Stadium last month! We were absolutely thrilled to host so many of our local businesses and contractors that offered up their time and expertise to help us deliver the new home for Brandon & Jim

We know it has been a few months since our last post. In that time, we were able to put the finishing touches on Brandon's House.

As we mentioned back in March, our friends at Sussex County Miners offered to host Brandon & Jim Bordt and the Brandon's House team with a ribbon cutting ceremony. That event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14th, ahead of the Miners game vs. the Quebec Capitales.

We will be hosting a pre-game event as a special thank you to the 100+ people who donated their time, services, and trades to help deliver Brandon & Jim's new home.

We would love for you to come on out to the ballpark, celebrate a truly amazing community effort, support the Sussex County Miners, and see them go head to head against the Capitales.

And, it's $5 Tuesdays so grab your $5 game tickets plus plenty of food/drink specials at the ballpark's concession stands.

It’s official…with the help of close to 1,200 people from our community, we have raised $80,435 in cash donations plus at least $25,000 of in kind services for Brandon’s House!!

The final two fundraising events by Sparta Elks #2356 and Tee Performance Indoor Golf helped put us over our goal of $75,000.

We had tremendous support from Sussex County Sheriff's Office, NJ, who provided an es**rt of Brandon & Jim’s new house a few weeks ago followed by Sparta Police NJ who helped Brandon and Jim move into their new home last Wednesday and brought Brandon to his new home. Even “Doink the Clown” joined in the celebration.

Our friends over Sussex County Miners will be hosting a formal ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate Brandon’s House this May. We will provide an update for that event as we get closer and you can always check out the Miners’ socials.

A huge shoutout to Clarke Moynihan for allowing Brandon and Jim to use his rental property while we made the transition.

On behalf of everyone at Brandon’s House, THANK YOU…this has been one of the most incredible experiences for all of us.

We would like to thank Keith & Tina from Tee Performance Indoor Golf for being our gracious hosts at our final, scheduled fundraiser yesterday. And, a special thank you to Erik & Heidi from Angry Erik Brewing for quenching our thirsts and to Rui and his team from Layton Hotel Tavern for preparing and delivering food for each of the three sessions.

While we know Brandon’s favorite sport to play is bowling, he gave it a go in the driving range and the 180’ putting challenge and he did not disappoint.

We look forward to sharing a project update this weekend…stay tuned!

With two incredibly successful events this past week at Sparta Lanes and Newton VFW we saw hundreds of people in attendance across both of these events. Those in attendance along with our hosts and sponsors reinforced our efforts, faith, focus, and goals for this project.

And, with just one of the two events officially reporting their contribution to HTEF c/o Brandon’s House, we pushed our fundraising progress considerably higher this week. We expect the other event will report their contribution next week and we also expect the two high school sporting events to report their contributions as well.

We still have three more scheduled events for February that we would like to remind everyone about.

Krogh’s Restaurant & Brew Pub - February 4th - Dine to Donate

Sparta Elks #2356 - February 10th - Wine Tasting (purchase your tickets in advance)

Tee Performance Indoor Golf - February 25th - 9-hole indoor golf outing (pre-registration is requested).
