Galloway Township, NJ Guests at The Richard Stockton College of New Jerseys 26^th Annual Spring Benefit might find themselves behind the wheel of a NASCAR race car, wearing a blue topaz, sapphire and diamond ring or taking an exciting Caribbean cruise, if they are the successful bidders on these or other spectacular auction items that will be up for bid.

 

The April 8 event, moving off campus for the first time in its 26-year history, will feature spectacular entertainment with Grammy Award-winning performer Roberta Flack taking the stage in the Grand Ballroom at Trump Taj Mahal Casino resort. Stocktons Spring Benefit is an evening of fine dining, live and silent auction items and spectacular entertainment. All proceeds from the event benefit the scholarship fund at the College.

 

The Gala begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are priced at $200. To purchase tickets or inquire about sponsorship, call the Stockton Spring Scholarship Office at (609) 652-4658.

 

So much excitement has been generated about the Benefit moving to The Taj Mahal and about the wonderful Roberta Flack providing our entertainment, said Stockton President Herman J. Saatkamp, Jr. We need to emphasize that the auction items available this year are stars in their own right. Some of our guests are going to be acquiring some fabulous items, trips and goods, all for the benefit of scholarships for deserving students.
