To the Editor:

Due to the coronavirus, we at the New Jersey Maritime Museum were forced to cancel our annual fundraiser this year. Knowing how important the fundraiser is for our operating expenses, Mary Lee Pence, Gretchen Coyle and Leslie Houston got together to brainstorm for an idea to raise funds. Playing on Deb Whitcraft’s intense dislike of the color pink, they came up with the campaign “Going Pink So We Don’t Sink.” If this campaign raised $25,000, Deb would dye her hair pink for a week.

Our goal was met, and on Sept. 26, Deb had an appointment at Lavish Salon to have the deed done.
