The 20th annual Mary Help of Christians Academy Autumn Gala was truly a night to remember! More than 200 guests gathered on November 29 at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ, to honor the Muller-Swartzberg families for their legacy of service and charity, following in the footsteps of their matriarch, Diva Muller, who started the Academy’s Financial Aid Fund.
The Academy also awarded its inaugural “Alumnae of Distinction Award” to Dr. Odette Harris, MD, MPH. This new award will be given each year to an alumna who has made a positive impact on the world and who serves as a role model for current Academy students as they work towards achieving their dreams.
"What a beautiful evening!” said Pam Swartzberg. "Mary Help, her students, and the Salesian Sisters sure know how to throw a party! Thank you!”
Special gratitude to the Gala Committee who organized a magnificent evening, which raised friends and funds for the Academy Financial Aid Fund.
