Baseball fans got together to raise money in support of the town's summer baseball program.
The Second Annual Chatham Baseball Season Kick-Off Fundraiser topped last year’s revenue substantially thanks to a sell-out crowd and a great silent auction at Plaza Lanes in Madison on Saturday. “We had the right balance of making money and having fun,” said Paul Anello, one of the parents who organized the event. “Some people who couldn’t even bowl sent in checks just to show their support.” The three-hour fundraiser by the Chatham Baseball Club invited residents to come out for a “night of throwing strikes” at Madison’s bowling lanes with unlimited “Rock & Roll” bowling. The event included food, bowling and lots of mingling amongst Chatham’s baseball community. “This event builds interest and involvement in the summer baseball program …

Supporters of the Chatham Education Association turned out for the tenth annual Taste of Chatham fundraiser Monday evening.
Firecracker shrimp, barley risotto and world famous cornbread. These were a few of the local dishes served at this year's Taste of Chatham, an annual fundraiser for the Chatham Education Foundation that combines education and cuisine in a buffet style dinner. Nearly 300 Chatham residents turned out at Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park on Monday evening to sample local fare and raise money for the CEF through auctions and raffles. Abigail Maddi, President of the Board of Trustees of the CEF, said the event is such a hit because of the symbiotic relationship between the merchants and the association. "The nicest thing is that it's such a community event and it involves so many vendors that are in Chatham," she said. "From the …

Actors from 'Shrek' and other Broadway shows came to the Chatham Playhouse to perform on Monday.
It only takes one folding chair, one electric piano and a couple of half-finished set pieces to stage Keen Company's annual fundraiser—that, some generosity and a few of Broadway's rising stars. Five Broadway actors—Sarah Jane Everman, Michael Halling, Aaron Ramey, David Vaughan and Laura Beth Wells—volunteered their singing, dancing and improv skills Monday night at the Chatham Playhouse during a benefit called "Broadway in the Boro" that was intended to benefit their friend Carl Forsman's off-Broadway theater company. Chatham native Forsman founded the Drama Desk and Obie-Award Winning company in 2000 to produce "sincere plays." "A lot of plays in the 1990s didn't represent the world I came from," Forsman said, whose father was a pastor …
