Newswise — The Fifth Annual Family Fireworks on the Navesink to support Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center Foundation took place on Saturday, June 24. This fun-filled family event was once again held at the DiPiero home, on the picturesque Navesink River, where more than 320 guests joined in celebration of Riverview.
“Philanthropic support is vital to Riverview Medical Center’s ability to deliver excellent care for this community,” shares Timothy J. Hogan, FACHE, president of Riverview Medical Center and Bayshore Medical Center. “We recently opened a state-of-the-art cancer care center, and shortly thereafter announced a revolutionary partnership between Hackensack Meridian Health and Memorial Sloan Kettering. Significant advancements such as these will continue in 2017 and beyond as we explore new and innovative ways to best care for our patients. Attending the Family Fireworks is a great way for local residents to learn more about our future plans while directly supporting the health care needs of their family, friends, and neighbors. We are extremely grateful for the DiPiero’s continued support of this event.”
The Family Fireworks event featured a festive buffet, a variety of food trucks, inflatable rides, games, and a breathtaking view of the fireworks show at dusk.
“Year after year, this signature event proves to be one full of positive energy and excitement for the incredible advancements taking place at Riverview Medical Center,” explains Steven Scopellite, chair of the Riverview Medical Center Foundation Board of Trustees. “We have the opportunity to gather for a great cause, while enjoying a deep rooted tradition in the Red Bank area – fireworks on the Navesink River.”
“We truly look forward to hosting this event each year,” says Hilary DiPiero, event chair and Foundation trustee. “To see such a diverse group of community members come together in support of the hospital that we love and trust, constantly inspires us.”
The Family Fireworks on the Navesink was generously sponsored by Presenting Sponsor, Crazees and The Mulheren Family, Fireworks Sponsors, The William & Janice Farber Charitable Fund, The Hirair & Anna Hovnanian Foundation, and Mel and Terry Karmazin, and Title Sponsors, Crothall HealthCare, Inc., Morrison Management Specialists, and OceanFirst.
