Montclair celebrated its 2024 Local Heroes, Candi Carter and Maura Lockhart, for their remarkable contributions to our community, at Loopwell on Friday, November 22.
The evening was nothing short of inspiring, thanks to our outstanding Local Heroes who moved us all with their dedication to the community. The gorgeous venue set the perfect scene, the food and drinks were a hit, emcee Saiful Khan was masterful and funny, while DJ Prince Hakim brought the music that kept us grooving all night long.
Thanks to the incredible support of our sponsors (listed below), ticket sales, and generous donations made during the event, Montclair Local raised a remarkable $70,000 to support our end of year campaign fundraising efforts! We’re beyond grateful for this generous show of support—thank you for making it a night to remember.
At a time when some news organizations in New Jersey are cutting back or closing down, Montclair Local is showing how a community can come together to sustain independent local news. We are getting national recognition for what we are doing – and it’s all thanks to your support. Thank you for being part of a movement to take back local news and for telling friends to join you as supporters. You make every story we write possible, including the stories of two very special local heroes.
