8th Annual "Celebration of Life Dinner Dance" - Another Great Success.

On November 8, 2008, the More Than Friends organization held it's 8th Annual "Celebration of Life Dinner Dance". Each and every year, the event has grown in numbers and this year proved to be the biggest yet. We look forward to seeing all of you at our 9th Annual Dance next year.

We would also like to extend our gratitude and thanks to all those that attended and supported our dance. From our guests to the celebrities and politicians in attendance, especially Governor Corzine for his kind words.

This year we honored our brave "Young Warriors of Cancer". We wish you and everyone nothing but the very best.

See you all next year!
