Rainbows NJ would like to thank Captain Bill Tallman for his tireless efforts in raising funds and awareness for Rainbows throughout the fishing community of coastal New Jersey. Captain Billy worked for months gathering sponsorships from area businesses, and coordinating event details for the 1st Annual Spencer’s Fishing Tournament to Benefit Rainbows, held on Saturday, August 16th, at Spencer’s Bayside Marina in Waretown, which raised more than $10,000 in support of Rainbows. If anyone deserves a place in the Rainbows Hall of Fame, it’s Captain Bill Tallman. Bill, your incredible efforts on our behalf are outshone only by the magnitude of your compassion and dedication to your extended family and colleagues at Spencer’s Bayside Marina. Thank You Captain Bill!

| “Greg T” from Z100 Radio |

Z100’s Piggy back Rides for Kids Campaign: After literally carrying people on his back to raise money for Rainbows, radio personality, Elvis Duran of the Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Zoo Radio program, said once of his faithful side-kick Greg Tyndorf, “Greg T. from Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Show in New York earned this money by giving piggyback rides to celebrities on our show… Gregory has been a strong advocate for the efforts of Rainbows and should receive a place in your Rainbows Hall of Fame (if you don't have a Rainbows Hall of Fame then by all means start one).” Rainbows would indeed like to feature Greg T of the Z100 Morning Zoo radio program for his “heroic” efforts to raise funds for Rainbows, and in so doing, increased awareness of our services across the tri-state area. Listeners of the program called the Rainbows NJ State Chapter offices every week for months asking for more information about important support programs for their children, and many asked about volunteer opportunities in their local communities. All together, Greg T raised more than $7,000 for Rainbows over the course of several months this year, and every single penny was earned giving “piggy back rides for kids”. Thank you Greg T!
