Thanks to robust partnerships between multiple facets of the community, the first-ever Moorestown Night was an unqualified success. Organized by a group of township employees, the event's main mission was to raise money for breast cancer survivor Dorothy Samartino's participation in the Susan G Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk in Philadelphia next month. Samartino is the township tax collector. Karen Maltbie, secretary to the township manager and one of the primary organizers of the event, said a Camden Riversharks representative told her it was one of the team's best-selling September games ever, with roughly 1,000 tickets sold through the Moorestown Night promotion. The Riversharks presented organizers with a check for $970—a portion of …

A wave of pink. That’s what township employee Karen Maltbie wants to see at the first-ever “Moorestown Night” at Campbell’s Field—home of the Camden Riversharks—on Sept. 20. The pink, a symbol of the ongoing fight against breast cancer, is a tribute to fellow township employee Dorothy Samartino. Samartino, township tax collector, is a breast cancer survivor. Proceeds from ticket sales, as well as the sale of pink T-shirts and caps (i.e. the “wave of pink”), will go to support Samartino’s participation in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk in Philadelphia this fall. Samartino, a longtime township employee, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, and when it happened, “it touched all of us,” said township clerk Patricia …

Assuming a patient hurricane, the a capella group will sing "God Bless America" during the seventh inning stretch.
Assuming Irene doesn’t ruin everything, a group of five Moorestown High Schoolers will serenade the crowd at Saturday’s Camden Riversharks game with their rendition of “God Bless America.” The Quaker Noats, an a capella group formed by 17-year-old Matthew Gavin and his friends earlier this year, were invited to sing the patriotic tune during the seventh inning stretch. Gavin’s mother, Beth, said Matthew was a member of the Madrigal singers at the high school, but was looking for another creative outlet when he formed the Noats. “He performed a little bit as a kid. It really blossomed in high school when he joined the Madrigals,” Beth said. “That’s when his love really kicked in and he realized he had a good voice.” Matthew and his fellow …
