Marissa Christ stopped in today to see Mayor Barberio. Marissa, Parsippany fourth grader, raised $660.00 for the American Heart Association through their Jump Rope for Heart event. Marissa’s motivation for the fundraising was due to her grandfathers’ recent loss to heart disease. Her hopes are too help others with the same difficulties.
Mayor Barberio congratulated Marissa on her accomplishments. All of Parsippany is proud of you.
