The Wildcats have performed at The Shoppes At Riverside's Senior Source, and for the senior day care program at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades (Tenafly), Camp Hope in West Milford, and other senior centers in Bergen and Passaic.
"We love seeing the smiles on the faces of our audience and having them remember the words and sing with us," said Friedman. "We sing for the joy it gives us and our audiences. It is our way of giving back, and we have gotten friendship and fun in return."
The Wildcats have upcoming performances at the Four Seasons in Wayne – donations for the Wayne Food Pantry will be accepted in lieu of an admission fee – the Nanuet Library, the Midland Park Senior Center and Englewood's Bergen Family Center.
