Ropeadope’s REnew Jersey Efforts for Hurricane Sandy Victims
PHILADELPHIA (November 28, 2012) — renew Jersey is a message of hope and affirmation for the millions affected by Hurricane Sandy on the New Jersey shore and beyond. A simple concept – buy a tee shirt, show your pride in New Jersey, and help those millions of people affected by the storm.
New Jersey beaches are a treasured slice of Americana; from the boardwalk shops to the carousels and roller coasters. Millions of people have found joy and peace throughout their lives with a weekend ‘down the shore’. Millions more have earned a living as people flock to the beach in the summer. What is truly amazing about New Jersey resorts is the mix: locals, fishermen, day trippers and hard core surfers mix with the privileged who own summer homes. Each of these dynamic qualities flourish against a backdrop of homegrown family businesses that dominate the landscape and keep New Jersey’s hard earned identity intact.
New Jersey has a strong musical heritage from Thomas Edison‘s invention of the phonograph record to a vastly impressive list of native New Jersey musicians. Such inspirational artists include Nelson Riddle, Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, George Clinton, Count Basie, Wayne Shorter, Glenn Danzig, Debby Harry, Ice T, and of course, Bruce Springsteen. From the Newark jazz scene of the early 20th century, to the first Hip-Hop recording of Rapper’s Delite in 1978, to the unrelenting punk and metal scene, New Jersey is and always has been a place of musical innovation.
