ATLANTIC CITY - Sheena Easton entertained a sold-out crowd of more than 1,100 at the Schultz-Hill Foundation's annual fundraiser held at Resorts Casino Hotel Aug. 23. The event raised $130,000 for the foundation's mission to provide music and arts education programs for students and seniors in greater Atlantic City.

VIP ticket holders had an opportunity to meet Sheena during a post-concert champagne dessert reception where the musical trio, Three Flights Up, performed.

The Schultz-Hill Foundation organizes one benefit performance annually to support its arts outreach programs. Resorts Casino Hotel was a presenting sponsor for the event. Honorary chairs of the event's Celebrity Committee were Resorts President Mark Giannantonio and Susan Giannantonio.

The nonprofit 501(c)3 Schultz-Hill Foundation supports the arts, history and education throughout South Jersey. Programs include the DINA Scholarships, Senior Music Series, Summer music program with the Atlantic City Day Nursery and the Arts Outreach collaborative with the Bay Atlantic Symphony and the Atlantic City Public Schools.
