July 29, 2014

After a shut-out in Burlington County Times 2013 Inaugural Forty Under 40, Delran High School made a big comeback last night at the 2014 2nd Annual Forty Under 40. At least 12 winners were alumni from the high school - including 10 alone from the Class of 1994.* The nine published Class of 1994 winners: Denise Begley, Kevin Briggs, Frank Camardo III, Brian William Donnelly, Jason Hohenstein, Amy Hullings, Christopher Ralph, Noelle Roberts, and Carl Willers. Dave Graver is listed among the previously announced winners, but does not appear in the published supplement nor at the dinner. In attendance at the dinner were Begley, Briggs, Camardo, Donnelly, Hullings, and Ralph.


Olympic Soccer back-to-back gold medalist and 2000 Delran High School alum Carli Lloyd did not attend the dinner but was among those nominated by Joyce Kavitsky - who herself is an alum of Delran High School Class of 1994. Tyler Seville, a Delran High School 2008 alum who is a newly elected member of the Delran Board of Education and young rising star in the Republican party, also attended the dinner and was nominated by Kavitsky.

Rabbi Benjamin David of Adath Emanu-El in Mount Laurel and Phillips Philes' own Erin Reilly were also nominated by Kavitsky and honored at the event. In all, Kavitsky nominated 20 deserving people - 14 of whom were selected - 13 actually appear in the published supplement.
