Navesink River Aglow in Support of Riverview Medical Center

Family Fireworks on the Navesink Raises $80,000 for Riverview Medical Center Foundation

Red Bank, NJ – July 21, 2014 – Family Fireworks on the Navesink, an event benefitting Riverview Medical Center and hosted at the DiPiero family home, raised $80,000 and attracted a sold out crowd of more than 250 attendees. This family-focused event, complete with a spectacular fireworks show on the Navesink River, supports the continued growth of the Medical Center. 

The success of this event highlights the indelible partnership between the community and Riverview Medical Center.  Riverview’s recent Life.Changing. Capital Campaign, co-chaired by Domenic DiPiero, III and George Kolber, raised $20 million dollars in support of the center for surgical excellence.  Many of the evening’s guests were also trustees and significant contributors to the campaign, as well as many generous friends from throughout the community.
