CentraState Healthcare Foundation hosted its 25th Anniversary Multiple Sclerosis Benefit on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Atlantic Health CentraState Medical Center on the Star and Barry Tobias Ambulatory Campus.
Guests enjoyed an evening featuring a variety of wines, craft beers, and spirits poured by the distributors of Max's B**r, W**e and Liquor, along with delicious mocktails and cuisine provided by Metropolitan Cafe and Great Restaurants Catering, both of Freehold. Specialty wines from Napa Valley, California, were also featured throughout the evening.
The beautifully draped event space provided an elegant setting for the anniversary celebration, with sponsor recognition decals lining the wine-tasting area. Guests enjoyed smooth jazz performed by two live musicians both indoors and outdoors as they sampled the evening’s offerings. An impressive chance auction featured an array of prizes and experiences, while a photo booth, sponsored by First Commerce Bank, gave guests a fun keepsake from the evening. Stillwell-Hansen served as the Event Sponsor for the 25th anniversary celebration.
A live appeal was hosted by committee co-chairs Vito Cardinale, Carol Stillwell, Star Tobias, and Barry Tobias, highlighting the important role the Linda E. Cardinale Multiple Sclerosis Center plays in the lives of patients and their families.
To help MS patients strengthen mind and body, the Linda E. Cardinale Multiple Sclerosis Center at Atlantic Health CentraState offers MS Wellness Programs, support groups, and educational seminars. Inspired by the impact of these programs, the Multiple Sclerosis Benefit Committee, comprised of MS patients, families, clinicians, and volunteers, focused its fundraising efforts on supporting the Center’s award-winning 12-Week Wellness Programs for MS patients.
The event raised over $180,000 in support of the Linda E. Cardinale Multiple Sclerosis Center at Atlantic Health CentraState.
