Entertainment JAMES BARBOUR MATTHEW FRIEDMAN THE CAMEOS Cocktails, Dinner And Dancing Message Donald W. Distasio Chief Executive Officer American Cancer Society, Eastern Division Dear Friends, Welcome to the American Cancer Society’s Starry Night Gala, an evening of entertainment and inspiration. Tonight you are truly our most honored guests. With your support, the American Cancer Society is creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. We are now a nation of nearly 12 million cancer survivors — thanks in large part to the generosity of community leaders like you. Despite the economic climate, the American Cancer Society has: • Launched landmark cancer research focused on causes and cures. With an eye on the future, the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study 3 is engaging 300,000 participants in a study focused on the genetic, lifestyle, and environmental links to cancer. In addition, the Society is currently funding $473 million in multi-year research grants in world-class institutions such as Columbia University, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Albany Medical College, Princeton University, New York University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the State University of New York, and more. • Served more patients and caregivers in New York and New Jersey than ever before. We provided navigation and support programs to nearly 53,000 newly diagnosed patients and placed 220 new patient navigators on-site in treatment centers in both states. In addition, local patient programs such as Look Good . . . Feel Better, Reach to Recovery, and Road to Recovery continued to meet the practical and emotional needs of patients in your community. • Provided free lodging and caring support to more than 3,500 people who traveled far from home for the best hope of cure. Our three Hope Lodges in Manhattan, Rochester, and Buffalo are a part of a network of 30 such facilities located near major cancer centers across the nation, serving as a home-away-from-home for hundreds of guests from New York and New Jersey. On behalf of the Starry Night Gala committee and the American Cancer Society, I would like to congratulate Mark Reagan as our 2011 honoree. I offer congratulations and my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated chair, Barbara Sellinger, for all her tireless work to make this gala a memorable evening. Thank you all for being here tonight and for your continued support. Message Robin Albers Regional Vice President American Cancer Society “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead Dear Friends: We meet tonight, at the 4th Annual Starry Night Gala, to celebrate the strides that have been made towards achieving our shared mission of eliminating cancer as a major health problem. You can take great pride in the knowledge that we are seeing simultaneous downturns in the rates of cancer mortality and cancer incidence. You will be happy to know that your American Cancer Society continues to be the leader in this effort. The American Cancer Society has had the pleasure of collaborating with various organizations to meet the needs of the cancer patients in this community. This year alone, through our on-site patient navigation programs within the hospitals, we are reaching more cancer patients, at the time of their diagnosis, than we have ever reached. This is a critical time for cancer patients because they may be frightened, confused and unaware of the valuable resources that are available to them. The American Cancer Society guides patients and their families throughout their cancer journey to ensure that they are aware of these resources and understand how to best utilize them. The American Cancer Society is proud to partner with our 2011 Starry Night Gala Honoree, Mark Reagan, to better serve our community. Through this partnership in the fight against cancer we are able to extend our reach to those who are newly diagnosed. On behalf of the Society, I congratulate you on this honor, and thank you for your commitment to saving lives. This is an exciting time for all of us! We thank you all for your generous support and look forward to our continued partnership as we move towards a cancer-free world. Thank you for your tremendous support. Letter from the Chairwoman Barbara Ann Sellinger Chairwoman, Starry Night Gala “Why me? Why her? Why my parents? Why my best friend? Why my child? I don’t understand.” I have heard these questions time and time again during the past few months. Friends and family members who have lost someone close to them to cancer. They were so healthy, they said. I understand why they didn’t go to the doctor’s office for that physical, that breast exam or mammography that colonoscopy, that dermatologist review. Why do I have to take time out of my busy schedule? I didn’t have anything wrong with me that I knew about. I was just like them. I sat in that sun and refused to go to the dermatologist as my husband repeatedly demanded, I went and I am fine, I am lucky. I canceled my colonoscopy exam five times and finally rescheduled it, and again, I am fine. I had breast sonograms, breast MRI and even biopsies. Again, I am fine. Why? Because I learned that preventative evaluations are the key. A very close friend of mine recently lost his wife to colon cancer. She had been healthy and didn’t schedule that colonoscopy. From diagnosis to death — only six short weeks. When he agreed to become active in the Starry Night Gala committee, to join us, he told me that he did so and would spend all the time he could to just impact one person — if he could convince one person to get that breast exam, that colonoscopy or that skin review, then it is worth it, he has saved a life, provided another birthday. I agree with him and that is why I am here. This is my second year as the chair of the Starry Night Gala for American Cancer Society. I think helping others is the most important thing I could ever do. Life is so vital, so fragile and so important. I am an aneurysm survivor. I lost my father a little over a year ago and over 10 friends or family members to cancer and other disorders. A cousin, an aunt, a close friend, a wife of a friend, fathers and mothers of friends, a brother of an in-law. I too want to impact others, to convince them that they need to get preventative testing. Get that one test, that one exam — that if done in a timely manner — will too save their lives. I have learned so much about the American Cancer Society during the past year and what they can do to help save lives. They have so many preventative and awareness programs that I know if I can help them raise money to fund such programs, to raise awareness and fabulous research that we will continue to save so many other people. So many more birthdays will keep on occurring. They have the following programs to name a few. Colon Cancer Awareness Program, Tag2Nag2, Coaches v. Cancer, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they partner with organizations throughout the country to increase awareness of virtually every type of cancer and in every type of person — from birth to death, whatever race or creed. There is no other organization that could help save so many lives as this one. Please join me in this quest. It is so worthwhile.

She is fond of saying “Life is funny.” Indeed, life can be very funny. My mother was diagnosed in 1975 with breast cancer, a trauma for everyone. She responded with true grace, determination and humor. She called it “a bump in the road.” She had a mastectomy, no radiation, no chemotherapy. Last year, they spotted a small spot. She had a lumpectomy and 35 treatments. She is as fit as a fiddle. When I asked her about it during the treatments she mentioned the “bump in the road.” Again, she said, “Life is really funny sometimes.” She was quick to tell me I had had it much worse. In 1995, I returned from Brazil, felt a bit funny that night and called my doctor. I described how I was feeling. He ordered me to the hospital immediately. Having gone 17 years without missing work, I was a little dubious. Three days later my cardiologist sat with me in his office and said, “You need a heart transplant and you need it soon.” I had hit my bump on the road. Life is a bit funny. Over the next eight years, I fought the notion of “soon.” Like my mother, I was determined to live with grace, determination and humor. I suffered cardiac arrest in Boston in 1998. I survived many minutes on the floor with three men sustaining me with CPR. I awoke three days later with a defibrillator in my chest and host of new challenges. Visits to emergency rooms and hospitals in France, England, and more than a few hospitals around the country brought me face to face, again and again with those most remarkable people, nurses and doctors. I was finally doing so poorly I qualified to be listed for a heart. I entered Newark Beth Israel in early November of 2002. I waited 154 days — March 20, 2003 — before hearing that magical phrase “Mr. Reagan, we have a heart.” All of my feelings about tonight with having lost several family members and close friends to this terrible disease and several friends battling for their lives every day, I choose to embrace the fight against this disease and the fight for life. Know in your hearts that our fight is for all those who are fighting to live and those who dedicate everyday to helping others win that fight. My feelings are very much about dreams — dreams that hit a bump in the road — dreams that are restored by the unflinching efforts of those we are really celebrating tonight. Men and women with the dedication, the dreams, to make our dreams come true, to get us past that “bump” in the road so we can say, “Life is funny. Life is fun.” So, in the words of an Arab proverb, “Throw your heart out in front of you and run ahead to catch it.” Mark Reagan Starry Night Gala The 4th Annual AMBASSADOR SPONSORS Atlantic Health Summit Medical Group MEDIA SPONSOR New Jersey Life Health + Beauty PRINTING SPONSOR Creative Color Lithographers HOLE-IN-ONE SPONSOR Jack Daniels Motors PATRON SPONSOR Advance Realty as of May 16, 2011 LIQUID LIGHTNING Starry Night Gala is proud to support the efforts of the and the American Cancer Society eneRgy for Life Leadership, Knowledge, Solutions...

The Cameos New Jersey’s Favorite Oldies Group The Cameos are a talented nine-piece oldies/ vocal harmony group who create and perform their own unique renditions of the most popular songs of the 1950s and ’60s, with a little ’70s added for good measure. Their musical repertoire consists of those special hit records made famous by many great artist such as The Flamingos, The Platters, Johnny Maestro, The Duprees, Dion, The Tokens, Elvis and Jackie Wilson, continuing through to the early era of Motown and R&B covering artists such as The Four Tops, The Temptations and Tavares, just to name a few. The Cameos group can trace its roots as far back as 1959, when its originator, Roger “Mr. Bassman” Del Russo, organized its first members in the city of Newark, N.J., performing first at high school dances as students and culminating with a 1995 performance at New York’s famous Carnegie Hall, where they delighted an audience numbering in the thousands, adding later performances in Atlantic City and the Bahamas, all with Roger at the helm. Upon his retirement in early 2005, Roger formally named his close friend, nine-year band mate and Cameo drummer Paul Stuart, as the new leader of The Cameos. Sadly, upon his passing and at Roger’s request, the group’s name was officially and legally transferred to Paul in July of that year. In its current rendition, The Cameos consist of five musicians and four singers who blend together a special mix of smooth perfected vocal harmonies with captivating musical energy to bring a modern and sophisticated feel to this fabulous music of years gone by. Musicians include: Paul Stuart: Leader, drummer, percussionist and vocals. Cathy Carbone: Tenor saxophone and lead vocals. Arno Petronzio: Organ, piano, synthesizer, lead and harmony vocals. Brian O’Connell: Lead and rhythm guitar. Kenny Cama: Bass guitar and sound technician. Vocalists include: Victor Rod: Lead vocals and second tenor harmony (former original Del Monico) Chris Cerullo: Lead vocals, bass, baritone, second and first tenor harmony. Danny Ugarte: Lead vocals, bass, baritone, second, first tenor and falsetto harmony. John Basilone: Lead vocals, baritone, and second tenor harmony The Cameos are proud to say that they have now added to their resume performances at the PNC Arts Center, Holmdel, N.J., for an audience of over 7,000 patrons in September 2010, as well as the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Newark, N.J. (NJ PAC) in November 2010. The Cameos have been asked back again for 2011! The Cameos, of course, continue to perform regularly across the state at private, corporate and municipal functions, including multiple summer concert series each year. Always dressed to impress, The Cameos are committed to providing a musical entertainment experience that will leave a lasting memory with their audience. They maintain that the good times are still alive and well and can continue to live through the words and melodies of the oldies songs we all know, love and will never forget!
