The MBCA Foundation will celebrate its 34th anniversary with its annual Officers Installation and Awards Gala, this year titled "The Best is Yet to Come!" 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Tropicana Atlantic City. The event honors MBCA and Schultz-Hill Foundation Co-Founder, Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority Chairman and community activist Gary Hill.
The event will feature a lavish cocktail hour with cash bar, gourmet sit-down dinner, music by famed crooner Steven Maglio, a night reminiscing Hill’s storied career and some nice surprises. More than 500 people are expected to witness Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. install the Board of Directors, including new board members Aura Sanchez (Borgata), Toni Brooks (Golden Nugget) and Scott Brown (Brown & McCarthy Insurance Agency). The MBCA Foundation board consists of representatives from various small and large businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, residents and casino leaders. It was founded by John Schultz and Gary Hill.
Hill has been instrumental in making Atlantic City a better place to live, work and visit while helping hundreds of students with scholarships, enhancing the arts community and investing in Atlantic City’s future over the last four decades. As chairman of the Municipal Utility Authority and co-founder of the Miss’d America Pageant, Hill’s strongest asset is his amiable spirit and ability to bring everyone together for the betterment of South Jersey.
The Best is Yet to Come offers layered meanings as Hill looks forward to a “semi-retirement” that will see Co-Executive Director Scott Cronick assume more of Hill’s responsibilities; however, Hill will continue to be a major part of the MBCA Foundation moving forward.
The MBCA Foundation has various projects in the pipeline and donates to other charitable endeavors, including more than $30,000 in scholarships annually to students who commit to higher education.
Tickets, priced at $150 each, or a table of 11 for $1,500, are available at MBCANJ.com, where you can also learn more about the nonprofit organization.
