On Tues., Sept. 2nd, Hillsborough Township Mayor Douglas Tomson awarded Larken Associates with a certificate in recognition of its 43 years of dedication to the Hillsborough Township community, where the commercial & residential developer, builder & manager is headquartered. With nearly 40% of its commercial portfolio located in Hillsborough, including retail, professional office/medical & industrial space, Larken Associates is fully entrenched is the community’s well-being & growth.

Through the years, Larken Associates has donated space to local 501C-3 organizations including most recently 3,125 square feet of warehouse space to Dance for the Cure, an organization committed to raising funds to financially assist local cancer patients, and 1,875 square feet of warehouse space to the Hillsborough Junior Raiders, an organization that provide extracurricular football, cheerleading, track and field, and girl’s lacrosse programs. They have also donated space to the Hillsborough Rotary Club.

“We operate as a completely volunteer organization, soliciting donations and building over 200 baskets for our annual Ribbons of Hope fundraiser,” stated Dance for the Cure Co-Founder Joanne Liscovitz. “By donating the work space, Larken has reduced our overhead cost significantly, enabling us to help hundreds of cancer survivors and their families in our area.”

“After school sports programs provide invaluable lessons to children about self-esteem, team work, and personal health,” said Mary Riccardi, Program Coordinator for the Hillsborough Junior Raiders. “The donated space frees up more funds that we can dedicate to equipment and instructors for children who join our programs every year.”

“Dance for the Cure and the Hillsborough Junior Raiders do so much for our community, it is our honor to assist them in their efforts to make Hillsborough a better place to live,” said David Gardner, President and COO of Larken Associates.
