More than $286,000 was raised to support the nonprofit’s end-of-life services in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties. The event saw Archer & Greiner, P.C., TD Bank and Chancellor Antonio D. Tillis of Rutgers-Camden named Samaritan’s Celebration of Life honorees.

“Our annual Celebration of Life gala allows us to continue providing comprehensive care for the people of South Jersey,” said Phillip W. Heath, president and CEO of Samaritan.

This year’s gala included dinner, live music and an online auction of 108 items that raised more than $15,000, and the drawing of two winning tickets for Samaritan’s annual dining raffle. The winners were Silia Mills of Voorhees and James Jay Rivard of Cherry Hill, who received a dozen $100 dining gift certificates valued at $1,200.
