(PRWEB) April 07, 2014

On Saturday April 5, 2014, Emerald Financial Resources, a Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) general agency, located in Bridgewater, NJ partnered with CarePoint Health for its 5th annual Bikes 4 Kids program. "It is our belief that every child deserves an active, healthy childhood and Emerald's Hispanic Advisory Team is committed to making this happen," said Nancy Aleman, one of the members of Emerald's Hispanic Advisory Team.

Emerald's Hispanic Advisory Team, a diverse group of professional financial agents of Hispanic backgrounds who specialize in serving the Hispanic Community, providing the necessary information and education to plan their financial future and protect their families, along with CarePoint Health, raised over $27,000 to purchase 300 bicycles, locks and helmets, which were discounted by the Walmart in Secaucus, NJ, and awarded to 300 children on the free or reduced lunch program within Hudson County. "CarePoint Health is dedicated to the Hudson County communities we serve and we are proud to be the premier sponsor of this event," said Allyson Miller, VP Marketing and Public Relations. The children who were chosen completed an essay on why they feel it is important to have a bike.

Pensa Movers of Union City donated their trucks to deliver the bikes to the event that was held at the Jose Marti Freshman Academy located at 1800 Summit Ave, Union City, NJ. The day's events included instruction on nutrition, safety, exercise, and theft protection by the Union City Police Department.
