"Last month, the Philadelphia 76ers welcomed CHNJ youth and staff to an unforgettable night at the Wells Fargo Center. Thanks to the incredible hospitality of the Sixers team, our group enjoyed VIP treatment—from floor seating during warmups and prime game seats to food vouchers and a chance to meet Olympic silver medalist and Sixers star Guerschon Yabusele. Moments like these mean the world to our young people. Beyond the excitement of the game, these experiences remind them they are valued and supported. Thank you, Philadelphia 76ers, for investing in our youth and helping make memories they’ll carry with them forever.

Welcome back to "the Cov", Jim! We’re thrilled to have you join the team and look forward to the leadership, experience, and new insights you’ll bring to the table.

A huge thank you to our incredible Board Members—Eric Andersen, Paul McKeon, and Kean Driscoll—for their leadership in making last week’s event at the Morris County Golf Club a resounding success! Over 200 executives from the (Re)Insurance industry and their guests came together for a night of networking, dinner, and inspiring talks. One of the evening’s highlights was a moving testimony from a CHNJ alumna who has transitioned from homelessness to independence as a teacher who is about to embark on pursuing her Master’s in Education. Her story of resilience was followed by former pro baseball player and TV commentator Al Leiter, who energized the room with his passion for success and the importance of hard work, mentorship, and setting goals. By the end of the night, over $250,000 was raised to support youth overcoming homelessness in NJ! ?? The momentum continues with the 10th Annual (Re)Insurance Sleep Out on Friday, October 18th in Newark, NJ. It's not too late to join!
