      This is about a Rowan students who wanted to help restore the New Jersey shore from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. His project started out as something small to help out, but immediately turned into something major.
  • Derek Koch says, “how a simple design, a simple graphic, and a couple of words…can really get people going
  • has raised more than $300,000 thus far for relief efforts.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • A graphic he created in a couple of hours in his apartment at the Whitney Center at Rowan University to support Jersey Shore victims of Hurricane Sandy has garnered worldwide attention
  • For information on all of the efforts—known as Rowan Relief—visit www.facebook.com/rowanrelief or www.rowan.edu/rowanrelief.
  • “I posted it harmlessly to Facebook,” he continued. “I thought maybe I’d print a couple of hundred t-shirts and sell them to my friends from a box at Rowan.” Instead, the graphic went viral, reaching an estimated 400,000 people through social media in just a few hours.
  • Koch knew he needed help to make his real goal—raising money for relief efforts through t-shirt sales—a reality.
  • Koch went to his bosses at ERGO clothing, where he had interned as a designer over the summer, and asked them if they would help.
  • board
  • ERGO co-founder Pete DiSpirito was on board immediately.
  • “Restore the Shore” is now “Restore the Shore Projects” and, this week, ERGO will present a check for $100,000 to Waves for Water, a non-profit organization founded by surfers that is providing shore relief efforts.
  • Information can be found at facebook.com/restoretheshoreprojects
  • “We’re not making a single dime,” says Koch
  • Koch is admittedly dazed by the way his idea has taken off. But he’s also genuinely pleased.
  • the Jersey Shore—its memories, its magic—resonates with so many people.
  • “We sold $100,000 in t-shirts in the first couple of hours,” says Koch. “It was ridiculous. Travis and I were just two college kids who live at the shore and were trying to do a good thing. Everyone wants their beaches saved.”

  • “It means a lot,” Trout said of the support from the community. “Growing up here, and driving down the street and seeing where I used to play Little League, and then coming back home and seeing signs up and seeing my name all over the town, and like I said being recognized, it means a lot to me.”
  • “It’s an incredible honor for me, extremely humbled to get this award, means a lot to me, my family, the town, Millville, just putting them on the map,” he told reporters during a news conference at the Thunderbolt Club. “I’m from this small town as you see, going out there and proving some people wrong that East Coast, (we) can go out there and play as well.”

  • Coming into the year, to have your name in the final list of the MVP at the end of the year, it makes you feel good.”
  • “(They) say, ‘Hey, I’m watching your game tonight,’” he said. “(A) lot of people bought the MLB package, and probably about 85 percent of the town has that package now (and they’re) watching me play. It’s pretty cool.”
  • “As I go right down the street to Cumberland Mall, you go to a Texas Roadhouse or a LongHorn (Steakhouse) and walk in, and all eyes are on you. It makes you feel good inside, and it’s been fun so far.”

  • Trout is also considered a strong candidate for the AL Most Valuable Player, which will be announced on Thursday. His biggest competition for that award is Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera, who won the AL Triple Crown, leading the league in batting average, home runs and RBIs.
  • Trout earned a $10,000 bonus for winning the award, on top of his $482,500 salary.

  • However, Trout almost wasn’t eligible to win. The 21-year-old nearly lost his rookie eligibility last year. A player’s rookie season counts if he’s had either 130 at bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club.
  • “I had some confidence in myself. I knew what my potential was and playing every day and getting the opportunity to lead off, I got to do what I’ve been doing my whole career in the minors. Going out there and playing centerfield and playing leftfield, I was able to get into a rhythm, help the team win,” Trout said of his talents translating to the Major League level. “It just started clicking.”
  • He also made what is considered one of the best defensive plays of the season when, on June 27, he stole a home run from Baltimore Orioles’ J.J. Hardy at Camden Yards by leaping high above the fence in center field in front of family and friends.
  • “Getting selected to the All-Star team, that was really a big moment of my career and just being selected was just an unbelievable feeling,” he said.At the game, which was played in Kansas City on July 10, he singled off New York Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey in his first plate appearance.
  • If Trout wins the MVP on Thursday, he’d become just the third player in Major League history to win both awards in the same season, joining Hall of Famer Fred Lynn (AL, 1975) and Ichiro Suzuki (AL, 2001).Trout won the Players Choice AL Outstanding Rookie on Nov. 5 and was named Baseball America’s Rookie and Player of the Year on Oct. 16.
