The Hurley in the Morning Charity Dinner & Silent Auction, hosted by Harry Hurley of Atlantic City’s WPG, is renowned as one of America’s most esteemed local talk radio-related charities.
Last week, the 15th year of this event took place at the iconic Ocean Ballroom at Resorts Casino Hotel. Over 263 paid guests graced the occasion, including prominent elected officials, business leaders, luminaries from the broadcast industry, and various members of the community.
The keynote speaker for this year’s event was Brian Kilmeade, a well-known personality from Fox News Radio and Fox News Channel. Kilmeade was also kind enough to sign copies of his upcoming historical book titled Teddy and Booker T.: How Two American Icons Blazed a Path for Racial Equality. Additionally, the event’s first-ever lifetime achievement award was presented to former State Sen. Bill Gormley (R-NJ).
Since its inception, the Hurley in the Morning Charity Foundation has successfully raised more than $1.3 million to support non-profit public service organizations across New Jersey and beyond, including the Broadcasters Foundation of America. In recognition of this remarkable charity work, both houses of the legislature officially declared this past Friday as “Harry Hurley Day” in Atlantic County, New Jersey.
It’s worth highlighting that Brian Kilmeade’s participation in the event faced last-minute jeopardy due to severe flooding in New York City on that very day. Despite the challenging weather conditions, Kilmeade’s dedication to being the guest of honor and keynote speaker was extraordinary, as Harry Hurley noted.
