NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. - Nov. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Ashley HomeStores of Central New Jersey is donating 50 mattress sets (mattress and foundationwith pillow and comforter) through its "Hope to Dream" program on December 17th. The furniture retailer's goodwill efforts are in celebration of the Holiday Season. This donation is just part of Ashley HomeStore's broader goal to give back to the community.

Our unique "surprise party" event takes place on Saturday, December 17^th from 8:30am-12:00pm at Rutgers Preparatory School in Somerset NJ. This fun-filled day will be full of activities, face painting, bounce houses, a healthy breakfast, and interactions with student athletes and cheerleaders. The "surprise" comes at the end, when the children learn they are receiving the gift of a bed for the holidays.

Will Schafer, President of Ashley HomeStores of Central New Jersey says, "I am proud to continue our commitment to giving back to our communities with this special event for the children in Central New Jerseyand Staten Island. Through the partnership between our Ashley HomeStore's Hope to Dream program and Rutgers Preparatory School, 50 children in our community will get the gift of a good night's sleep this holiday season."

Dr. Craig Bennett, M.D. of Ashley's Wellness Center says, "An estimated 30 to 50 percent of children have trouble sleeping well.Getting a good night's sleep is more important than most people realize. It helps ensure a healthy lifestyle by lowering stress and reducing the risk for illness and depression, while improving cognitive and physical performance. A good night's sleep is especially important to help children focus academically and grow socially."

Ashley Furniture HomeStore's "Hope to Dream" program was created to provide mattress sets to children with a demonstrated need who normally would not have access to a proper mattress to sleep on.
