About our host, Ted Stampoulos, owner, Martini Bistro and Bar, Millburn, New Jersey

“I feel a special attachment to this organization.  My sister Roseanne suffered from a brain tumor and is now an eight year survivor.  Over 1.4 million people each year sustain a traumatic brain injury; 80,000 in the metropolitan area.  After a brain injury, individuals face many obstacles while trying to return to life in their community.  Opportunity Project helps individuals meet and overcome many of those challenges.”

Fundraisers like this enable Opportunity Project to provide services to people who may have no financial resources.  No one is turned away due to lack of funds.â
