Frank Iannarone Jr., pharmacist and proprietor of the Madison Pharmacy, has come up with a novel approach to raise money to help the Madison Eagle Christmas Fund — he has created Madison-themed tote bags.
The bags feature iconic Madison New Jersey buildings, including the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, Mead Hall on the campus of Drew University, the Luke Miller Homestead, the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Hartley Dodge Memorial municipal building, the Grace Episcopal Church, and the Madison train station.
The canvas tote bags are limited editions and are on sale only at the Madison Pharmacy at 66 Main St. for $18 each. A donation of $5 will be made to the Madison Eagle Christmas Fund for each bag sold.
The all-volunteer Madison Eagle Christmas Fund is celebrating its 40th anniversary year of bringing joy to Madison households that need a helping hand. The Christmas Fund is a tax-exempt nonprofit that uses all money raised to help Madison families and senior citizens in distressed circumstances enjoy a happy holiday season.
“These delightful bags will make great gifts to friends and family, so be sure to stop in to purchase yours before they are all gone,” Iannarone says.
