On Nov. 5, more than 100 guests gathered at the Pines Manor in Edison for the Boy Scouts of America Annual Middlesex County Chapter dinner.
More than $80,000 was raised at the dinner through donations and journal ads recognizing the honorees of the 2015 Distinguished Citizen Award from the Boys Scouts of America Middlesex County Chapter.
Roberto Muñiz was recipient of the 2015 Distinguished Citizen Award from the Boy Scouts of America, Middlesex County Chapter. Muñiz was recognized for his support of the local community, including his 17-year tenure as president and CEO of The Francis E. Parker Memorial Home. He also serves on the board of New Brunswick Tomorrow, which is dedicated to enriching the lives of New Brunswick’s people.
The event is the Middlesex County Boy Scouts’ largest fundraiser. Proceeds will benefit many scouting programs, including the STEM initiative focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Funds raised will also support camp and individual scholarships for the at-risk youth scouting programs.
“The Boy Scouts of America provide the support, direction and inspiration that so many young people today need,” said Muñiz. “I am pleased that funds raised for this event will help provide scouting opportunities throughout New Jersey. It is vitally important to have scouting programs available in communities large and small, urban and rural, and particularly for our at-risk youth.”
