CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ - Although Hanover Township's Mayor Thomas 'Ace' Gallagher had the honors of cutting the ribbon for Planet Fitness' grand opening celebration, other local Mayors were on hand to lend support. Mayor Joe Pannullo of East Hanover, Mayor Tim Dougherty of Morristown, Mayor Jayson Karr of Morris Plains, Mayor Mark Taylor of Florham Park, and Mayor Jamie Barberio of Parsippany took part in the celebration. Representing the Morris County Commissioner Board was Commissioner Stephen Shaw.
There were many exciting aspects of the event, including free Chick-fil-A, free t-shirts, tours, free massage bed sessions, caricatures and different contests, games and give-aways.
Most exciting was the generosity of Planet Fitness as they donated a check for $1,000 to the Mayor's Mental Health Symposium fund.
Mayor Gallagher was thrilled to be part of the event, "I personally met Marcus, a Senior Vice President of Planet Fitness, at a Planning Board meeting in Hanover Township roughly 2 to 3 months ago, where he knew I was championing the complete overhaul of the former Morris County Mall property. Marcus was up for a limited amount of time from Miami and invited a few of us in to take a tour and discuss how Planet Fitness can become a true partner to our communities. I immediately invited Hanover Township Committeeman Brian Cahill, Police Chief Loock, Business Administrator Joseph Giorgio, Superintendent Denise Brennan and Assistant Superintendent Tom Quirk. After that tour, we discussed our Mental Health and Wellness Initiatives. Marcus said he was very impressed with our regional partnerships and the close relationships many of our municipalities have together."
"Marcus and many from his National Team watched and applauded our Latest Mental Health Symposium Video and said, “This is what we are all about” at Planet Fitness and an incredible partnership began immediately.", the Mayor continued.
At the grand opening, Planet Fitness Donated $1000 towards the Mental Health Initiative. There are future plans in the work that will be finalized and announced soon.
