NEWARK, N.J., June 15, 2010 – Representatives of the New York Red Bulls stopped by the Ironbound Business Improvement District (IBID) offices last week to drop off 50 soccer balls and cases of Red Bulls posters in support of the recent Portuguese Parade and Celebration in the Ironbound.  The IBID served as a liaison between the Red Bulls and the Union of Portuguese American Clubs of New Jersey (UCLANJ) to coordinate the donation and delivery that added to the festivities. "There is a direct and essential relationship between the Ironbound community and the Red Bulls organization through soccer.  The Red Bulls are community oriented and have added greatly to the Ironbound," said Seth A. Grossman, Executive Director, IBID.

The Ironbound Catholic Academy won first place for the fifth to eighth grade and the Wilson Avenue School won first place for the first to fourth grade in the Ironbound Business Improvement District’s (IBID) eighth annual Anti-Litter Poster Contest (2010).  More than thirty posters were entered by students from Ironbound elementary and middle schools participating in the contest which draws attention to the IBID’s “Let’s Work Together to Keep the Ironbound Clean” quality of life initiative.
