Debut of “Riot on the Dance Floor” Nets $600 for Bordentown City Cats

DJ Randy Now Turns Documentary on Legendary Trenton Concert Promoting Days into Fundraiser for Local Animal Rescue Group
BORDENTOWN, NJ – Long-time Bordentown fixture Randy “Now” Ellis has parlayed the story of his legendary Trenton-area concert-promoting days into a fundraiser to benefit Bordentown City Cats (BCC) animal rescue group.
In doing so, Ellis raised $600 in the past several weeks by requesting a $10 per person donation from everyone who turned out for the screening of the new feature-length documentary “Riot on the Dance Floor:  The Story of Randy Now and City Gardens,” which chronicles Ellis’s 30-year history DJ’ing and booking many seminal punk and rock acts at the Trenton club.
“As a resident and store owner, I know what a great job BCC does in Bordentown and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to contribute in some way coinciding with the film documentary about my career,” said Ellis, who presented a check to BCC at his store The Man Cave in Bordentown this week.  “I hope the Man Cave can help the BCC cause again in the future, perhaps with an afternoon adoption day at the store.
            Ellis’s sizeable donation will go a long way towards furthering BCC’s mission, which can often be costly.  Now in its eleventh year, BCC is dedicated to rescuing, fostering, spaying/neutering, finding loving homes and caring for Bordentown City’s stray and feral cat population.
“We’d like to give a special thanks to Randy Ellis and The Man Cave for donating $600 to Bordentown City Cats’ rescue efforts,” said Tara Howley, a volunteer member of BCC who is also a guitarist for the all-girl, punk band The Droogettes. “Randy was generous enough to donate the proceeds from the door during screenings of Riot On the Dance Floor, a documentary on the legendary City Gardens that, under Randy's management and direction, hosted pretty much every punk band ever.”

Can you spare a few dollars to help them find a home for the holidays?

Nothing breaks our hearts more than to see sweet, gentle, loving cats go without a home for the holidays, especially the many that we have in our care right now - some who were cruelly thrown out on the street and others, like poor, brokenhearted Milo here, who lost a loved one... November 28 is "Giving Tuesday" and we're launching a month-long campaign. Our goal is to make sure every one of our rescues has a home in time for the holidays. Can you spare a few dollars to help fill our Giving Grid ?  We are an all-volunteer non-profit that relies strictly on donations to help our feline friends find fur-ever homes and w e are doing all we can, but... Did you know our volunteers trudge through snow, sleet and sweltering heat 365 days a year to feed the feral cat colonies throughout Bordentown City? Did you know we make shelters for all of these colonies and for many residents who care for outdoor cats? Did you know our volunteers personally f...

Will you help heal Milo's broken heart?

Milo came to us about two months ago after suffering a terrible tragedy.  His mother, who adored him, passed away suddenly at home, leaving him alone until friends came to his rescue.  They reached out to us knowing she loved him more than anything and would want them to make sure he was well taken care of.  This testimonial from Milo's mother's friend says it all... "I cannot tell you how much I appreciate  this group (BCC). In my time of need with the passing of one of my closest friends, they allowed me to drop off her cat who wa s now alone.    They responded so quickly and a lovely woman named Mindy, left her number. Once we were able to catch this beautiful cat (who was afraid and confused as to what had happened),  Mindy welcomed us to her house to drop off our little friend with the knowledge that he would be fostered and not put into a shelter. This alone calmed our already pained hearts. Our friend loved her cat with all of her he...
