Attend an Event

The Generations Gala is our signature event where we present a deserving member of the community with the Steve Kalafer Community Leadership Award. Now in its thirteenth year, please save the date for Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at The Palace at Somerset Park.  

The ADC has renamed its Generations Gala Award as the Steve Kalafer Community Leadership Award to honor the memory of the late entrepreneur and longtime ADC supporter, Steve Kalafer. 
Steve was a passionate supporter of many non-profits in New Jersey, and we were honored to be one of them. He was committed to our mission of providing compassionate day care services and making sure we had the resources needed to take care of our members and caregivers. He was a loyal and generous neighbor, providing both financial contributions to the Center’s building project, annual campaign and special events, and leadership to the Inaugural Gala in 2011. He received the Generations Gala Award in 2017. Thank you to the Kalafer Family for letting us honor Steve in this way. 

Our 2024 honoree was Dr. Tim Fox of FOX Rehabilitation.

Now in its 27th year, our wine tasting is held in the spring and is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2025.  Thanks to the leadership and generosity of Carolina Wine Brands we will enjoy a night of cocktails, dinner, and laughter.  In addition, we will present the ninth annual Anita and Jim Ventantonio Volunteerism Award. Save the date for June 11th at the Raritan Valley Country Club. 

The Anita and Jim Ventantonio Volunteerism Award was named in memory of Bridgewater residents Jim and Anita Ventantonio to recognize exemplary volunteers who have shared their time and talent with the ADC. The Ventantonios made generous contributions of financial resources and leadership to the ADC and to the greater Somerset County community. Jim served on the Board of Trustees and subsequently served as legal counsel when ADC was a tenant at the People Care Center. Anita sat on the Board of Trustees from 2012 – 2015 and served as Chair.
