BH Cares was a grassroots program presented by BHB&C & TAPinto Berkeley Heights with sponsorship from ten local businesses, donations from dozens more and support from town hall.  To participate and enter for a chance to win, members of the community simply signed the “BH Cares Pledge” by clicking the button above.  In doing this, they agreed to wear their face covering around town, use social distancing when necessary and wash or sanitize your hands often.  Taking this pledge showed that you cared about the safety of our community and that you were doing your part to keep our local businesses open during the pandemic.

In return for signing the “BH Cares Pledge“, our local businesses rallied in an effort to say, “Thank You”.  Each week 5 residents were randomly selected from the “I signed the Pledge” list to receive some BH swag including gift cards to local restaurants and stores, merchandise, valuable prizes and more! 

Berkeley Heights students had two to ways to win $10 gift cards to either Starbucks located in Connell Park at the Embassy Suites or the BH Dunkin.  First, they simply took the pledge by clicking the link above and were randomly chosen!  Second, they got “caught in the act” by our local BHPD.  They had partnered with us to randomly hand out these $10 gift cards each week to local students about town or Snyder Park “caught in the act” of wearing their face covering.  These student gift cards, (in the amount of $1,000) were made possible by a grant from the Smith Chiropractic Foundation in partnership with both the Berkeley Heights Starbucks & Dunkin locations. 

Take the “BH Cares Pledge” by clicking the button above helped us keep our community healthy and our beautiful town open.  Many won big!  Thanks to ALL who participated in BH Cares.  For more information including press coverage of BH Cares and winners, keep scrolling!
