Team Adam Raises Nearly $11,000 for Family Promise

The weather may have been frightful, but it did not stop Team Adam: St. Mark’s Godspeed from participating in the annual Hike For Hope benefiting Family Promise of Bergen County.

Our intrepid crew of thirteen once again raised nearly $11,000, the most of any team.

Founded in, 1986 Family Promise’s mission is to empower working families facing housing insecurity to become self-sufficient by providing temporary housing and personalized support, as well as address food insecurity in the community every day.

Since 1993, the Hike for Hope, formerly known as Bike Bergen or the Hike or Bike, has brought families, congregations, community organizations, school and youth groups, and individuals of all ages together to bring awareness to family homelessness and raise funds for Family Promise of Bergen County’s life-changing programs. Participants complete a three-mile walk through the heart of Ridgewood, beginning and ending at Van Neste Square.

St. Mark’s team was for years championed by Adam Rosignolo, who as a member of your youth group tirelessly recruited and encouraged participants. Since his tragic and untimely death in 2013 we have kept his memory alive by continuing to walk, hike or bike at this annual event.
