Yet again, SADD has raised the bar for a successful turnout during its annual “Pasta Dinner for the Troops” held on Tuesday, December 8. Through the hard work of students and the generosity of the community, the event raised $6,680 to benefit our troops overseas.

The Christian Brothers Academy chapter of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) also drew 220 attendees for its 9^th year.

The cause and turnout gained post coverage from several sources:

About The Event

The Pasta Dinner is held each year in honor of LT Dennis W. Zilinski II ’00, a CBA and West Point graduate who was killed in action in Iraq in 2005. The event, in collaboration with MAST & Trinity Hall’s SADD chapters, and under the supervision of SADD faculty moderator Mr. Frake, was completely student-run. The CBA Mother’s Club as well as Angelo’s Pizza in Lincroft donated their time and much-needed supplies to help make this event possible.

Proceeds from the dinner will be used to purchase much-needed supplies for donation to our servicemen and servicewomen stationed overseas during the holiday season.
