Since April 8th, the Bergen community has celebrated 42 children’s birthdays as they are missing out on birthday celebrations at school and with their friends.
“We have two children who received a birthday parade and we know how hard this has been for them,” says Kelly Marsocci., owner of Ralph and Rosie’s.
Ralph and Rosie’s and Gregry’s Bakery have been providing each birthday family with pizza, a pizza kit and treats, while community and family members provide a birthday parade down Main Street in Bergen a few times a week. Gregrys Bakery gives each child a small cookie cake for their birthday that they pick up with their pizza.
Tonight’s birthday celebrations were for Michael, Emma, Dylan and Lauren.
Marsocci and Amy Phillip’s have been organizing the birthdays.
