Participating Businesses
BounceMkt | 720 Monroe Street Suite E410, Hoboken
IG Handle: @bouncemkt
Giveaway Gift + and Value: $100 gift card
We know back-to-school clothes shopping can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Following the birth of her daughter in 2018, Hoboken resident Kelli Brown came to realize how unsustainable raising a child can be, especially when it comes to clothing since children grow out of items so quickly. Frustrated with how difficult and time-consuming secondhand shopping for quality items could be, she created Bounce Mkt — a spot for pre-loved children’s clothing in excellent condition, from brands parents know and love — such as Andy + Evan, Ralph Lauren, Crewcuts, Kate Quinn, Boden, Pink Chicken, and Hanna Andersson.
Ken Pilates | 706 Grand Street, Hoboken
IG Handle: @kenpilates
Giveaway Gift + and Value: 1-month unlimited membership ($300 value)
Ken Montes de Oca, a proud immigrant from the Dominican Republic, started his career with dance. After obtaining a certification in Pilates, Ken wanted to bring his classes to the Hoboken community — and along with his partner Matthew, created Pier A Pilates before opening up his own studio in Hoboken. Ken Pilates provides clients with an opportunity to take small group classes or private sessions, mat and reformer classes with no more than six students per class, as well as duet and single sessions — and Pilates is a great workout to kick off going back to school.
