On Sunday, April 26, The Jefferson Health Foundation – New Jersey, hosted 333 participants and raised over $60,000 at the inaugural Cherry Blossom Run/Walk fundraiser benefiting the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Centers in New Jersey, helping to expand access to advanced cancer care close to home in Cherry Hill and Washington Township.
Held at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, Cherry Blossom Run/Walk participants, made up of individuals, families, teams and four-legged companions, either ran in a 5K or walked a 1-mile course.
“This event brought our mission to life in a visible and meaningful way,” says Tamara LaCouture, MD, East Region Chief of Cancer Services. “Every step taken supported patients who are navigating cancer with strength and resilience.”
Crowds arriving for concerts, games, or conventions often face frustration before the doors even open. In Philadelphia, parking shortages and disorganized flow create ripple effects that stretch far beyond a lot or garage. Gridlocked entrances, absent signage, and overwhelmed attendants combine to slow traffic, sour moods, and weaken the experience before guests ever reach their seats.
When multiple events overlap across the city, the pressure only intensifies. Late arrivals disrupt programs, nearby streets stall, and staff are left scrambling. Solutions such as advance reservations, staggered entry times, clear drop-off lanes, and live lot updates bring order to the curb, turning parking from a liability into a coordinated extension of the event.
Fuel keeps the region’s economy moving. From construction crews breaking ground on new developments to HVAC companies running service calls across Camden County, businesses throughout South Jersey depend on a steady fuel supply to stay operational. But for fleet managers and business owners who transport their own fuel to job sites, there is a regulatory side of the equation that does not get nearly enough attention.
Federal fuel transport rules are not just for long-haul truckers pulling tanker trailers down I-95. They apply to any business that moves fuel from one location to another, even in smaller quantities. Understanding where the legal lines are drawn can save a business from costly fines and operational disruptions.

| Preservation New Jersey has released a new video spotlighting two significant Cape May landmarks, the Franklin Street School and the AME Church, as part of its ongoing “10 Most Endangered Historic Places” video series. The video explores the history and cultural importance of these two sites, both deeply connected to New Jersey’s African American heritage. The Franklin Street School, built in 1928 during segregation, served as an educational institution for Black students in Cape May. The nearby AME Church has long stood as a spiritual, cultural, and community anchor for local residents. Together, these sites tell a powerful story of resilience, education, faith, and community in the face of historic inequality. The video highlights ongoing preservation concerns while also underscoring community efforts to protect and interpret these important landmarks for future generations. “Franklin Street School and the AME Church are vital pieces of Cape May’s history,” said Paul Muir, President of Preservation New Jersey. “Their preservation ensures that the stories of the communities who built, used, and sustained them are not forgotten.” The release of this video is part of Preservation New Jersey’s broader initiative to raise awareness of the state’s most endangered historic places and to encourage public engagement in preservation efforts across New Jersey.
