❤️ Purpose of the Event

The proceeds of this year’s event will benefit the Bonita Stanton, M.D., Scholarship Fund, which will provide vital scholarships to the talented future physicians accepted into the highly sought after Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

A beloved colleague, physician, mentor, and educator, Bonita F. Stanton, M.D., was the founding dean of Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and a true inspiration to all who knew her. She was a prolific researcher, author, and educator committed to health care equality. It is impossible to overstate her role in bettering and saving untold lives over the course of her career as a pediatrician and medical education visionary. A true leader of positive change, Dean Stanton envisioned a world in which every person - in her own words - could have “equal access to excellent health outcomes and wellbeing” regardless of background, ethnicity, and income level in the State of New Jersey and beyond.
