Celebration Summary
The breathtaking beauty of the Pleasantdale Chateau provided a perfect backdrop for the extraordinary performances that graced the ballroom. From the magnificent melodies of the New Jersey Symphony Chamber Players and the Curtland E. Fields Training Ensemble of the Youth Orchestra to the graceful movements of the dancers, every moment was a testament to the power of music and art to uplift and inspire.
It was a great privilege to have our prestigious honoree, the Newark Alliance, and specifically President & CEO Evan Weiss present at the Gala. His dedication to our community and commitment to the arts have made a profound impact, and we are honored to have celebrated you at our Gala.
