HACKETTSTOWN — On Friday, May 18 The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey hosted a day dedicated to the non-profit organization, Pass It Along.

Pass It Along is a Sparta based non-profit organization that empowers youth to make lasting contributions to their communities. It was an exciting and fulfilling day for all involved and the Practice was very glad to lend support to this most worthy organization.

Dr. Robert DeFalco and Dr. Paul Teja, along with other physicians and staff members of The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey greeted patients and visitors to the practice, informing them of the work that Pass It Along accomplishes.

Diane Taylor, CEO of Pass It Along, Kelly Bonventre, Program Coordinator and Karen Yost, Director of Finance and Development at Pass It Along attended the event and provided information about their organization.

Breakfast was provided to all those who came.

“I am so grateful to The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey for its support of our organization and truly value the wonderful relationship that has developed between our two organizations. The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey’s generous donations have been a great help to us as we continue our important work,” said Taylor.

Earlier in the month, The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey participated in Pass It Along’s annual Serve-A-Thon Day as the presenting sponsor for the event.

Over 200 people passed through the doors of the practice during the day. Dr. Robert DeFalco of The Orthopedic Institute of New Jersey said, “We welcome the chance to contribute to such a worthwhile cause. We feel that Pass It Along serves the dual purpose of helping those who may need some assistance and also teaching young people the value of helping others. We were very glad to host this day.”
