“The timing of the event, which had a football theme, added to the excitement since people were looking forward to the Super Bowl,” said David Krentel, Foundation Executive Director. “The 300 attendees, including CHCC donors, business partners, staff, and friends, were encouraged to wear jerseys from their favorite team. We also added a live and silent auction this year, which everyone enjoyed.”
Main sponsors of the event were Atlantic Tomorrow’s Office; Empire Ambulance; Jeffer, Hopkinson & Vogel; Regency Wealth Management; Reiner Heating & Air Conditioning ; Shotmeyer Bros. Heating and Air Conditioning; Concord Engineering; Conner Strong & Buckelew; and William H. Connolly & Co.
