Scavenger Hunt

In the spirit of making connections, you will be able to optionally participate in the NJLP 2025 scavenger hunt. Throughout the convention you will have the opportunity to hunt down certain items on the scavenger list. Items include - exchanging business cards with someone and taking a selfie with one of the newly elected regional Chairs! Once all items have been ‘found’ you will win a small prize.

Silent Auction

This year, we will be having a silent auction, and we need your support to make it a success! This event will raise funds for the NJLP to keep things going - and your generosity can help us achieve our goal. The NJLP is manned by our dedicated volunteers and a shared goal of creating meaningful change in our community.

We’re seeking donations of items, gift cards, services, or unique experiences to include in the auction. Whether it’s a product from your business, a service you provide, or a special gift, your contribution will make a significant impact.
