The Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski Memorial Fund will hold an eighth anniversary gala titled “A Toast to Dennis – A Night of Remembrance” from 7 p.m.-midnight on Sept. 23 at the Eagle Oaks Country Club, 20 Shore Oaks Drive, Farmingdale.
The gala will celebrate the life and memory of Lt. Zilinski, as well as honor those from Monmouth County who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks. A donation of $150 per person is required for an invitation to the event, which will include a cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, dancing with music by The Infernos, and more.
The event will also feature a reverse auction to assist the Fund in sponsoring service dogs for warriors suffering from PTSD and/or traumatic brain injuries. Several warriors who have returned from combat are expected to attend the affair.
Distinguished honorees are Randy and Maureen McDonald of Red Bank, Joseph and Miriam Tort of Rumson and Quentin and Ellen Walsh of Sarasota, Fla.
“These three couples were chosen for their dedication and continued support of the mission and continued growth of the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski II Memorial Fund,” said Marion Zilinski, mother and committee member.
