The arts took center stage after more than a year away at the Schultz-Hill Foundation's inspiring fundraiser, "RISE Up for the ARTS" featuring the Texas Tenors. The talented tenors entertained a packed house of 700 at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on August 6, raising $120,000 for music and arts education programs for students and seniors in greater Atlantic City.

The Texas Tenors - Marcus Collins, JC Fisher and John Hagen - had the audience swaying and singing along to the high-energy performance, which included pop, country, Broadway, Americana, and opera. The Texas Tenors are America's Got Talent Champions and three-time Emmy Award winners for crossover musical trio. Their albums, "Rise" and "A Collection of Broadway & American Classics," both debuted at #1 on the charts, making the Texas Tenors Billboard Magazine's #10 Classical Crossover Artists in the world. They have performed over 1,400 concerts around the world, produced four studio albums and two PBS Specials in the last 10 years.

As a tribute to the Schultz-Hill Foundation's arts outreach into the community, the concert included special guest performers, the Holy Spirit High School Select Choir under the direction of Ms. Claire Collins. The students sang backup for several of the songs performed by the Texas Tenors, and soloist Vanessa DeJean sang a showstopping rendition of Whitney Houston's One Moment in Time.

Lloyd Levenson of Cooper Levenson Attorneys at Law was master of ceremonies, and WOND Radio Host David Spatz introduced the performers. Resorts President Mark Giannantonio thanked the Texas Tenors for bringing the audience back to the showroom.

The Schultz-Hill Foundation organizes one benefit performance annually to support their year-long arts outreach programs. Resorts Casino Hotel is a presenting sponsor for this event. Honorary Chairs of the event's "Celebrity Committee" are Resorts President Mark Giannantonio and Mrs. Susan Giannantonio.

Students at Our Lady Star of the Sea School in Atlantic City will participate in a cultural arts education program, Stages to Schools, made possible by a partnership between the Atlantic City Ballet and the Schultz-Hill Foundation (a Non-Profit Private Foundation).

The Stages to Schools program includes virtual performances of two ballets, teacher resources and an interactive component where students can connect with the dancers. Younger students will watch the ballet Dracula, while older students will see the Nutcracker, both under the direction of Ms. Phyllis Papa, Artistic Director of the Atlantic City Ballet.

"We understand there have been dramatic changes to how teachers educate students during these challenging times," said Alexandra Pieroni, Managing Director, Atlantic City Ballet. "We also know that many times the arts are left out due to time or resource constraints. We want to help students experience the Atlantic City Ballet right in their own school."

"We believe the Arts in schools enrich the lives of young people today and give them a broader perspective on life," said Gary Hill, Founder, Schultz-Hill Foundation and sponsor of the Stages to Schools program. "We want to keep the ARTS Alive for all."

A group of residents and visitors to Seashore Gardens Living Center (SGLC) were treated to an enjoyable afternoon of entertainment from the Vaudeville era on Thursday, September 12, in Galloway.

The show, titled ‘The Golden Era of Vaudeville,’ was presented by ‘The Starlite Steppers, a talented group of seniors themselves, based in Cape May County. The troupe, involving dancers, singers as well as a banjo/ukulele/vocalist, had residents singing along to such ‘oldies’ as ‘Tea For Two,’ ‘Ain’t We Got Fun,’ and favorites by Irving Berlin and George M. Cohan.

The event was the third concert in the 2019 Music & Memories Series, sponsored and underwritten by Atlantic City’s Schultz-Hill Foundation. The series is designed to bring the arts to seniors in the community. Schultz-Hill partnered with SGLC and OceanFirst for the performance.
