Hospital Foundation Announces 2013 Harbor Lights Ball Honorees

Raritan Bay Medical Center Foundation announced the 29th Annual Harbor Lights Ball honorees during a kickoff cocktail party held recently at The Addison Park in Aberdeen.  Executive leaders, trustees and event committee members gathered to congratulate the honorees and enjoy music provided by the Victor Quezada Jazz Trio, as well as a special performance by Say Watt, an award-winning robotics team comprised of students from local high schools.

The Harbor Lights Ball is the premier annual fundraising gala for the medical center and will be held Saturday, September 28, at The Addison Park in Aberdeen. This year’s theme is #welcometothefuture and will include music by Tim McLoone & the Shirleys, dancing and a grand auction.
