The newly formed Friends of Tri-County group hosted a special night to remember on February 8th. The group collaborated with Matt Hanifin, a Tri-County supporter and salesperson for the NJ Devils, to bring together students, alumni, and supporters of Tri-County. And what better way to unite for a cause than through the adrenaline-pumping excitement of a New Jersey Devils hockey game?
The event raised an $900 through ticket sales, a great first year!
But the highlights of the night went beyond just numbers. After the game, the Tri-County group had the unique opportunity to step onto the rink and gather around the iconic NJ Devils logo for a group photo.
Attending the event was upcoming honoree for the Women of Achievement luncheon on April 11, Monica Martinez Milan as well as Elisa Charters, a past Women of Achievement honoree! The Friends of Tri-County group also included event organizers, Lauren Conigliaro, Gaby Gomez and past scholarship recipient, Alessandra Veliz. Students and chaperones from Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta were in the stands cheering on the Devils!
Even though the Devils were not victorious, it's clear that the real victory was off the ice. In bringing supporters and students together for a common goal and raising funds for scholarships. It's a reminder that when we come together, we can make a difference in the lives of others, one goal at a time, one child at a time.
Here's to more nights like this, where fun, community, and purpose align to create a brighter future for all. Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and cheered – you are the true champions of education.
