DJ Jason E from 99.3-FM The Buzz will provide entertainment for the event. He was voted 2014's best DJ by Atlantic City Weekly.
Proceeds from this event will fund the Betsy Young Scholarship Project Inspiration and the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Young, a beloved music teacher at Ocean City Intermediate School, had received treatment from the center while diagnosed with Glioblastoma.
The Memorial Fund is encouraging participants to raise additional funds with individuals raising $250 or $500 (or teams raising $500 or $1,000) receiving special awards.
