“PGA Tour: Playing With A Purpose” Documentary Airs Today

Liberty National Scenics
This afternoon, Rising Tide Capital’s (RTC) co-founders Alfa Demmellash and Alex Forrester will be featured in a documentary, “PGA TOUR 2013 Playing with a Purpose presented by Barclays.” Tune in to CBS at 1pm to watch “Playing with a Purpose,” a special narrated by sportscaster Jim Nantz that will highlight some of the ways players and tournaments on the PGA TOUR have used charitable contributions to make a difference in their communities. 

The story will include insightful interviews with two Jersey City entrepreneurs who graduated from our Community Business Academy: Angelo Stracquatanio, CEO and founder of Mainstreet Apps, and Angela McKnight, CEO and founder of Care about You. 

The show will air in the lead-up to The Barclays, an event on the 2013 PGA TOUR which will take place at New Jersey’s Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City. New Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop selected RTC to appear in the documentary to represent Jersey City. 

 
“We are honored to represent Jersey City, and grateful to have this amazing platform to share Rising Tide Capital’s work and mission,” said CEO Alfa Demmellash.

Movies in the Park Tonight: 8/2/13

 rfme

Watch Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit under the stars and above (and, yes, overlooking) Manhattan tonight. Riverview-Fisk Park plays playground to this screening.

The movie starts at sundown…which by my guesstimate means it’s best to set up your blankets and chairs circa 7:30pm. That will give you enough time to grab your free popcorn and Lizzmonade lemonade (yes, it’s all free) and get comfortably cozy in time for the viewing.

The Washington Park Association (WPA), Riverview Neighborhood Association and Pershing Field Garden Friends organized this night (and the upcoming Jersey City movies in the park series) with Hudson County Parks and the Board of Chosen Freeholders.

More info is available here.

 

Enjoy,

Oprah is hosting a fundraising event for Newark Mayor Cory Booker in support of his bid for the U.S. Senate tonight at Liberty House in Jersey City.

Okay, it’s not like I can afford to go to this, nor can many of us who actually live here. But wouldn’t it be cool?! I heart Jersey City. I may just have to stalk along with the paparazzi.
