PARSIPPANY — Andrew Aguilera was honored by Investor’s Bank for his efforts in fundraising over $11,000 for the American Heart Association. Andrew is a Parsippany High School Graduate Class of 2014. Seton Hall student Andrew Hustick also worked on this project with Aguilera.
Each year, Investor’s Bank operates the “University Challenge,” in which local universities raise money for the American Heart Association. The university that raises the most money receives a $5,000 scholarship for the students who lead the initiative.
In prior years, Seton Hall University has raised around $3,000. In addition, this is the fifth year in a row that Seton Hall has won the challenge.
Aguilera and Hustick were very thankful for the participation of the many student organizations at their event on the University Green this past October.
Aguilera said, “At the time we were fund-raising, Andrew and I had family members who were suffering from heart issues. So, it was great to fund raise for something that continues to be close to our hearts.”
Andrew is a student at Seton Hall University.
