Fundraising Brothers Among Those Honored by School District

Brothers Zach and Colin Lerner were among the many honored by Toms River's Board of Education this week. 

The pair organized a fundraising effort for those affected by Superstorm Sandy, creating and selling over $2,000 worth of bracelets that read "Rebuild, Restore, Revive."
