The Hopewell Sun

Inspired by the genuine kind-
ness, caring and compassion that
Hopewell resident Christine Gi-
anacaci was born with, her par-
ents, Jean and John Gianacaci,
started a non-profit organization,
Christines Hope for Kids, to con-
tinue her legacy.
Christine, who was 22, traveled
to Haiti in January 2010 with sev-
eral of her classmates from Lynn
University in Florida on her sec-
ond mission trip with Food for
the Poor, and was killed in the cat-
astrophic earthquake that oc-
curred on Jan. 12 2010, along with
three other students and two pro-
fessors.
She just loved kids in gener-
al, Jean said. She got a taste for
really helping those in need and
was only 22 years old, so who
knows where she wouldve ended
up.
Christines mission in life was
to assist and support underprivi-
leged children who were less for-
tunate than her, so Jean and John
figured the best way to honor
their daughter was to create a
charity dedicated to her cause.
We decided that we wanted to
continue her legacy and make a
positive interest, Jean said. So,
we wanted to help children, but
we felt it important to help chil-
dren here in the United States be-
cause there are lots of kids here
that need help, too.
The foundation was essentially
created at Christines funeral.
Since she was missing for 28 days,
by the time Jean and John held
her memorial service, they knew
it was going to be big. Thats
when Jean started thinking about
ways to create something lasting
in Christines memory.
I said, I just dont want a lot of
money spent on flowers. I think
we should channel the money to
something really positive, Jean
said.
After speaking with the other
parents of the three girls who
died along with Christine at one
of the girls funerals, Jean and
John told everyone they were
starting a charity in Christines
memory. Ironically enough, with-
out any discussion prior to the fu-
neral, Jean found out that all
three of the families were start-
ing charities in memory of their
daughters, as well.
Not any one of us is doing the
same thing. Were going in all dif-
ferent directions, Jean said. In
our lifetime, hundreds of thou-
sands of girls will be helped be-
cause of these four girls. By the
time were done, so many kids
will have been touched by these
foundations.
Although the parents of the
other three girls based their char-
ities overseas in Jamaica and
Haiti, Jean felt very strongly
about keeping her foundation
based in the United States be-
cause she wanted to be able to see
the money raised in action.
I wanted to make sure that
when people give us donations, I
could account for where the
money was being sent, she said.

romantic comedy/drama Des-

ines just how much we will over-
look in the name of love.

the perfect man. Handsome, suc-
cessful and a good listener, he has
just one flaw he is a professional
assassin.
The normally detached
Richard has done the unthink-
able he has fallen for the girl
who will become a witness to his
crime. Will romance and passion
be able to win over her intuitive
reasoning and his professional-
ism as a hit man?

urday evenings, doors open at 7
p.m. for dessert with an 8 p.m.
show.
Sunday matinees feature 1:30

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2012 THE HOPEWELL SUN 5
Click It or Ticket
through June 3
Police from the Hopewell
Township Police Department will
be cracking down on unbuckled
motorists and their passengers as
part of the national Click it or
Ticket campaign.
Now through June 3, the annu-
al initiative includes high-visibili-
ty law enforcement seat belt
checkpoints and saturation pa-
trols, as well as local and national
publicity designed to ensure driv-
ers and passengers recognize the
life-saving value of seat belts.
Using a seat belt is the sim-
plest way for a driver and his or
her passengers to protect them-
selves when traveling, Acting Di-
rector of the New Jersey Division
of Highway Traffic Safety Gary
Poedubicky said. "In 2010 alone,
seat belts saved an estimated
12,546 lives nationwide.
Last year, the front seat belt
usage rate in New Jersey rose for
the 15th consecutive year to 94.51
percent.
Poedubicky said while front
seat belt usage rates continue to
increase in New Jersey, law en-
forcement and safety officials
want to ultimately see a 100 per-
cent compliance rate.
New Jersey has a strong front
seat belt usage rate, but there is
still work to do, he said. To
meet our goal, we must continue
both enforcement and public out-
reach efforts that educate all
motor vehicle occupants about
the importance of buckling up,
every ride.
Poedubicky noted the cam-
paign would focus on rear seat
passengers as well. Despite laws
requiring adult back seat passen-
gers to buckle up, adult back-seat
belt use stands at only 35 percent.
During the 2011 Click it or
Ticket campaign, 419 police
agencies participated in the two-
week initiative. As a result of the
effort, law-enforcement officers
issued 32,228 seat belt citations,
5,865 speeding summonses and
made 953 drunken-driving ar-
rests.

in our opinion
M
emorial Day is behind us,
and summer has begun. Un-
officially, of course.
That means a lot of outside, sum-
mer fun is on the horizon. Carnivals,
festivals, concerts, you name it.
If you or a group youre working
with has something going on this sum-
mer, and you want a lot of people to at-
tend, let us know about it. Well be
happy to spread the word.
Providing this kind of hometown
news is a staple of coverage in all 16 of
The Sun newspapers. These events are
important to their respective commu-
nities. People come out and meet their
neighbors. New friendships are creat-
ed.
Were proud to bring this type of
news to your home every week.
But we need your help to be success-
ful.
When you receive your Sun in the
mail, were already working on the
next edition. Last week, when we had
short holiday deadlines, we were put-
ting the finishing touches on a num-
ber of the papers during the middle of
the week.
Thats why we ask you to submit
news about your event at least two
weeks in advance. That gives us plenty
of time to schedule it to be published
prior to the big day. If you want to
send a follow-up email to make sure
we received your announcement, that
doesnt hurt, either.
Please include all of the pertinent
information: where the event is and
when it takes place; any entrance fees,
a phone number or email address peo-
ple can use to get more information,
etc. Everything a person would need to
know to come out to your event and
have a good time.
We dont have a huge staff, so we
cant cover all of the events taking
place. Please feel free to take a few pho-
tos and email them to us afterward.
We want to help make your event as
successful as possible, and we want to
share memories of your event with
the community. Have a great summer.
Summer fun
Big event this summer? Let us know about it
Summer events
If you are hosting a summer event,
please let us know at least two weeks
in advance so that we can get the

Pennington Dance thanks
volunteers for hard work
On behalf of the Pennington Dance
Company, we want to extend a big thank
you to all the Pennington Day volunteers
for all their hard work on Saturday. Co-
chairs Lisa Sarachman and Andy Parsons
did a fabulous job. Jen Tracy and Francie
McManimon, the booth chairs, were won-
derful to work with. Randi Plevy, the enter-
tainment chair, helps us coordinate our
performance timing and Brett Margulis,
the sound/equipment chair, goes above
and beyond to ensure our music can be
heard. He keeps improving the sound
every year. The new banner at the
stage/entertainment area at Main Street
and Curlis Avenue was great.
The Pennington Dance Company has
performed every year since Pennington
Days inception and we greatly appreciated
all of the Pennington Day volunteers help
as well as the gracious hospitality of St.
Matthews Episcopal Church for allowing
our young dancers a space to change cos-
tumes.
The weather was beautiful and a good
time was had by all. It was a day of great
community spirit.

Womens Health Week brings
attention to important issues
Now that brunch is over, its time to turn
our attention to the fact that May 13 was
more than just Mothers Day.
Sunday, May 13, also marked the start of
National Womens Health Week, which is
coordinated by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services Office on
Womens Health.
But dont think of it as a broad, national
effort, run out of an office in Washington.
Think of it as something very close to
home, something concerning you or some-
one you love. Organizers of the national
project point out some common-sense ac-
tions for women that we should all get be-
hind:
Visit a health-care professional to re-
ceive regular checkups and preventive
screenings;
Get active;
Eat healthy;
Pay attention to mental health, includ-
ing getting enough sleep and managing
stress;
Avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as
smoking.
Preventive health measures such as
these make sense all year long. As organiz-
ers point out, women are often caregivers,
and their health can become a secondary
issue as they care for others.
Taking the time for routine health
screenings means you can detect a condi-
tion such as cancer, osteoporosis or heart
disease earlier, and that will likely result in
a better outcome.

10 THE HOPEWELL SUN MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2012
they donate to such as the kids
in camps and at the YMCA and
see how the money is being used
and how people are being affect-
ed. Thats very important to us
and our foundation.
Since its inception about two
and a half years ago, Christines
Hope for Kids has managed to dis-
perse about $140,000 to different
organizations in the United
States and has affected nearly
3,000 kids lives. Some of the or-
ganizations the foundation has
benefitted include Big Brothers
and Big Sisters of Mercer County,
The Boys and Girls club of Tren-
ton and Mercer counties, The
YMCA and Spread the Magic
Foundation.
Jean has also made it her mis-
sion to teach children in local
schools about the importance of
giving back to other children who
are less fortunate than them. To
do this, she started working with
schools such as Timberlane Mid-
dle School, which is the middle
school Christine attended and
graduated from.
For the last two years, Chris-
tines Hope for Kids has been
working with students of Timber-
lane on three main projects: Pen-
nies from Heaven, Pajama Day
and the Pajama Bag Project.
Pennies from Heaven is an
event Jean created and instilled
in a group of local schools.
Students from each school col-
lect as many pennies as possible
in a given timeframe, and after
the collection is finished, Chris-
tines Hope for Kids matches the
amount of money raised.
After the total amount of
money is tallied up, Christines
Hope for Kids gives the students a
choice of how they can spend
their money, with certain guide-
lines.
Pajama Day is a day where chil-
dren are encouraged to wear
their pajamas to school for a $2
donation. Christines Hope for
Kids also matches the amount of
money raised at the schools,
which they use toward purchas-
ing items to create pajama bags.
The pajama bags are composed
of the items that are purchased
with the proceeds from Pajama
Day a pair of pajamas, a story-
book, a teddy bear, an activity
book, toothpaste and a tooth-
brush, and a comb and are used
as part of the Pajama Bag Project,
where children assemble small
care packages to donate to the
American Red Cross for disaster
relief for families that were
stricken by fires or natural disas-
ters.
Jean also altered this project to
target some of Mercer Countys
organizations by replacing the pa-
jamas with a T-shirt.
Timberlane Vice-Principal
Darren Lewan chose the Pajama
Bag Project as a sixth-grade proj-
ect, in conjunction with Jean.
Each time we do it, we try to
step away from just raising
money and we want the students
to do something thats tangible
and see that theyre putting some-
thing together for a particular
person, Lewan said. Thats why
each student writes a personal
note in each of the care pack-
ages.
When Timberlane students
worked with Christines Hope for
Kids on the Pajama Bag Project,
they assembled 160 care packages
and raised about $1,500.
I want to continue this project
for the sixth-grade next year,
Lewan said.
Timberlane has also helped
Christines Hope for Kids collect
used books and sporting equip-
ment such as baseball spikes,
gloves, bats and balls, particular-
ly used for children participating
in baseball leagues that essential-
ly cant play because they cant af-
ford the necessary equipment.
Jean takes great pride in know-
ing that shes supplying children
with childhood memories that
wouldnt have the opportunities
otherwise.
I just really believe, no matter
what the economic background,
every kid deserves the chance to
be a kid, she said. They will
never have that childhood memo-
ry unless we give them an oppor-
tunity to be a kid.
On top of helping different
local organizations, Jean also
opened a chapter of Christines
Hope for Kids in Florida recently
through America Caregiving
Youth, since thats where Chris-
tine attended college and since
Jean has such strong ties with
Lynn University.
Some of her friends who live in
Florida also reached out to her
about wanting to get involved
with the charity.
Although Christines Hope for
Kids is not as active in Florida as
it is in New Jersey, Jean believes
Christine led her down the path
to help children in Florida.
I have a palm tree in the logo
for the foundation, and when I
put the palm tree in the logo, that
was enough of a sign that told me
I needed to do something in Flori-
da, Jean said. Were involved
with a day care center that we do-
nated $10,000 to for the underpriv-
ileged kids, baseball leagues to
help kids who cant afford basic
equipment like spikes and other
youth.
All proceeds that are raised in
Florida, stay in Florida, for the
less fortunate children in the
area.
Next year, Jean says shes
going to start the Pennies from
Heaven and Pajama Day events
that shes held with schools in
New Jersey down south.
I may be doing things, but
Christines really the one thats
driving this train, Jean said.
Our foundation is not always
about raising money, its about
teaching kids to help other kids.
