On December 5, 2025, CLCL Foundation was honored to be hosted and sponsored by Monmouth Integrative Counseling Services in Brick Township. MICS planned a wonderful evening for our families, welcoming 68 guests.
Outside, attendees warmed up with fresh hot chocolate and enjoyed a football toss with prizes. Inside, the office had been transformed into a winter wonderland: guests received candy canes and raffle tickets for hourly prizes, and the Cookie Decorating room brimmed with gingerbread, icing, sprinkles, and candy. The Dance Off featured a DJ and festive blow-up decorations that delighted the children. Arts and Crafts offered picture frames, ornaments, paints, and more, while the Game Room challenged participants with a marshmallow-and-cup contest—every challenger chose a prize.
Baskets of holiday candy and a table with fresh pizza, chips, water, and juice kept everyone fueled. At 6:30 p.m., the Grinch arrived to a room full of fans—some even dressed as the Grinch—posing for silly, smile-filled photos. MICS and another generous donor provided family gift baskets that were raffled off along with leftover pizza. CLCL hosted a table with available donations and games for kids to take home.
Thank you to the MICS team and volunteers, our donors,
and every family who joined us for this memorable evening. It was everything our Free Family Fun Nights are designed to be for youth and families. This is one FFFN event we won’t soon forget!
