This power-couple brings skill, strategy, and heart to the field—Robert as founder of Thomas Black Landscaping, and John as a master salon professional and educator. United by a shared mission, they’re playing for something bigger: supporting survivors, amplifying victims’ voices, and making sure every story is heard, believed, and backed by real action.
NOVA provides help and hope for everyone affected by crime. Services include a 24-7 victim Helpline, forensic exams, child-centered response for children who have been sexually or physical abused, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy provided in office, home or schools, and legal advocacy and support through the criminal justice system. NOVA also offers prevention education and professional training across Bucks County to help keep communities safe.
"We're thrilled to bring our community together for an evening of fun and friendship while supporting NOVA's vital mission,” said Penelope Ettinger, Executive Director, NOVA. “Every dollar raised at our Gala Game Night directly supports survivors of crime and abuse in Bucks County.
