The Verizon Store in the Garden State Race Track development held its' Grand Opening on Saturday, July 26th, 2008. On hand were representatives of the Cherry Hill Fire & Police Departments, as well as Cherry Hill Councilman, Frank Falcone. During the ceremony, Verizon generously donated $1,000 to the Cherry Hill Fire Protection & Safety Alliance. Donations to this fund in the past have seen great returns in purchasing safety equipment for firefighters or to fund the free smoke detectors and batteries program for seniors, or anyone that needs assistance. Accepting for the Cherry Hill Fire Department is Battalion Chief, William Stallfort.
