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.
The nonprofit 501(c)3 Schultz-Hill Foundation supports the arts, history and education throughout South Jersey. Programs include the Dina Scholarships, Senior Music Series, summer music program with the Atlantic City Day Nursery and the Arts Outreach collaborative with the Bay Atlantic Symphony and the Atlantic City Public Schools.
