Dear Editor:
On June 7, 2009, the North Bergen Police Department conducted a charity softball tournament to benefit New Jersey Special Olympics. A wonderful article was written detailing our efforts to raise funds and bring awareness to this worthy charity. The article thanked many of our sponsors and contributors; however, our entertainment for the day was not mentioned.
We were entertained by an extremely talented live band named the “Jumpin Dragons.” The band is made of up of mostly former North Bergen Residents, including members Fred Brignola, Randy Wilms, Frankie Merchand, and James Sontisiero.
The band donated their time which consisted of several hours of classic rock music which set the backdrop for a fun filled day. I received numerous complements and inquires regarding the band and their performance. You may obtain further information regarding the Jumpin Dragons at the band’s web address at www.myspace.com/jumpindragons
I want to take this opportunity to personally thank the Jumpin Dragons for their time, efforts, and philanthropic contributions to what was surely a successful day for New Jersey Special Olympics.
Very truly yours,
Captain Robert Dowd
North Bergen Police Dept.
