Cento Amici’s 37th Annual Dinner & Auction

What an incredible night it was celebrating the 37th Annual Dinner & Auction – with more than 200 guests at The Stone House at Stirling Ridge – supporting Cento Amici and our scholarships and students in New Jersey. We are thrilled to have welcomed Bill Raftery, Renowned Basketball Analyst & Former Seton Hall Basketball Coach, as our newest member. In addition to all of the money raised to support need based scholarships in NJ, highlights included an inspiring, and funny, presentation from Raftery and Bob Hurley, Legendary High School Basketball Coach & Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee.

A special thank you to Jim Salzano for capturing the night perfectly through photos.
