SUMMARY:📚 End of Summer Fundraiser Celebrations at Asbury Book Cooperative 📖
DESCRIPTION:Help us reach our Summer Fundraising goal! \nThe Asbury Book Coop (ABC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and independent bookstore located in downtown Asbury Park. For six weeks this summer\, we are running a Summer Fundraiser to support our community programming and general operations\, as well as to purchase books for the annual Asbury Park Summer Backpack Drive. \nWhat is a nonprofit organization (NPO)? \nAs a nonprofit\, ABC operates under a self-sustaining business model. That means that every dollar you spend in the store or donate to ABC goes directly to supporting our mission. \nIn addition to sales and donations\, we also support our work through grants\, ticketed events and  fundraisers\, memberships\, volunteer hours\, used book donations\, corporate sponsorships\, major gifts\, and community partnerships. \nWhat’s the Summer Backpack Drive? \nThe Summer Backpack Drive is an Asbury Park institution. Hosted by our wonderful partners at Community Karma\, each year it provides thousands of local school kids with backpacks and supplies to start the new year. \nThis will be our 3rd year partnering with Community Karma. Our goal is to distribute more than 1\,000 books at the end-of-summer block party — but in order to do that we need your help! \nWhat else does my donation support? \nIn addition to supporting our general operations and the Asbury Park Summer Backpack Drive\, your donation helps us continue to provide a variety of free community programming\, including visits from local authors\, concerts\, workshops\, poetry readings\, wellness events\, and book giveaways. Our goal is to keep the love of books alive down the Jersey Shore and cultivate a sense of community within our beloved Asbury Park. \nIs my donation tax deductible? \nYes! All donations are tax deductible; a receipt will be provided to you upon your donating. \nAre there any other perks to donating?  \nAnyone donating $50 or more will have their name displayed on the ABC “Giving Window” for the duration of the Fundraiser (unless you elect to donate anonymously). Those donating higher amounts will also receive the following ABC “swag” in store with proof of donation: \n\n$100: Free ABC pride sticker\n$500: Free ABC pride sticker AND notebook\n$1\,000: Free ABC pride sticker AND notebook AND tote bag

SUMMARY:"Driving Miss Daisy" at Bell Theater
DESCRIPTION:The Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning drama Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming and humorous journey through an unlikely friendship that transcends race\, class\, and time. Set in the Deep South of 1948—on the cusp of the Civil Rights movement—this beloved play follows the fiercely independent Miss Daisy Werthan\, a sharp-tongued Jewish widow\, and Hoke Colburn\, a patient and dignified Black chauffeur\, as they navigate 25 years of change\, challenge\, and companionship. What begins as a reluctant arrangement soon blossoms into a deep and enduring bond\, proving that understanding and kindness can bridge even the widest divides. Poignant\, funny\, and profoundly moving\, Driving Miss Daisy is a touching and timeless story of human connection.

SUMMARY:Matisyahu at the Stone Pony
DESCRIPTION:MATISYAHU\nSummer Tour 2026 \nCreativity is like a fire in a fireplace: You have to tend it or it will go out. For nearly two decades\, Matisyahu has kept his creative spirit aflame by evolving his sound\, melding genres\, and testing the limits of the musical traditions that have inspired him. His latest release\, Hold The Fire\, and its leadoff single “Fireproof” takes inspiration from a fire dream inspired by Matisyahu’s Old Testament religion\, which has meant so much to his spiritual and creative life since his recording career began in 2004 and his breakout track “King Without a Crown” blasted into the Billboard charts in 2005. In a roundabout way\, those same Old Testament roots springboarded Matisyahu’s music career. \nGrowing up outside New York City\, the young Matthew Miller followed jam bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead. Then\, in Bob Marley and reggae\, he found that the messaging of Rastafarianism was sourced in part from that same Old Testament. The sound that emerged on his first albums—including his first two studio releases as well as 2005’s Gold-certified Live at Stubb’s—embraced both the spirit of reggae and his spirituality and roots in Judaism. Buoyed by hits like “King Without a Crown\,” albums like the Grammy-nominated and Billboard No.1-ranked Youth in 2006\, and the Gold-certified 2009 antiwar hit “One Day” (streamed over 150 million times on Spotify alone)\, he toured extensively through the second half of the aughts with a high-energy stage show that has since grown to include more improvisation. All the while his music expanded into a shapeshifting collision of reggae\, hip-hop\, alt rock and boldly inventive pop. Today\, he continues to be inspired by evolving musical trends\, finding linkages and loops between eras and genres. Matisyahu’s spirituality has evolved in parallel with his music\, though his Jewish heritage remains a central theme throughout his life and music. The new EP\, Hold The Fire (out February 2024)\, also finds him reflecting on celebrity and artistic success. For Matisyahu\, “the unbelievable and miraculous feeling of being connected to our people” is what keeps the creative fire alight.
