MONTCLAIR, N.J., June 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Tuesday, June 23, 2015, HudsonMOD magazine celebrated its third triumphant year as the metropolitan area's authoritative voice on all things luxury at Maritime Parc in Jersey City.
The red carpet event, hosted by TV personality and journalist Joumana Kidd, and filmed by NJTV's Life & Living with Joanna Gagis, was exploding with VIP guests, the evening's sponsors and celebrity guests including artist Domingo Zapata, Patrick Warburton, Project Runway's Irina Shabayeva, Kathy Wakile, and The Eric Trump Foundation's very own Eric Trump and wife Lara Trump.
Shannon Steitz, president and publisher of HudsonMOD, addressed the crowd saying, "It was about a year ago when I first met Eric Trump… I'll never forget the conversation we had at his dining room table about St. Jude and the scientific advancements for creating better survival rates and in many cases a cure. There's no denying his sincere passion for saving children's lives, which is absolutely contagious," which led into her announcement of the magazine's $1 million pledge to the organization.
Afterwards, Eric Trump addressed the crowd detailing his organization's continuous efforts for the children of St. Jude, the passion instilled within each member and his own personal desire to help fight the battle against childhood cancer.
Throughout the night, guests enjoyed a premium cocktail bar, a Trump Winery tasting table, hors d'oeuvres served by Maritime's Chef Chris Siverson, live entertainment and a magnificent fireworks display over Liberty State Park provided by Garden State Fireworks.
At the end of the night, all guests left with a stunning gift filled with a Trump Winery wine bottle.
