During Atlantic City’s 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at the Saracini-O’Neill Atlantic City 9/11 Memorial, Mayor Marty Small Sr. made a surprise $25,000 donation to the volunteer organization responsible for maintaining the memorial site.
The donation to the Saracini-O’Neill Foundation comes from funds raised through Mayor Small’s inaugural gala, held in May. The gala was organized as a charitable event, with every dollar raised designated to support local charitable organizations and community causes.
Mayor Small will announce the total amount raised during his inaugural gala at a news conference on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. inside the Hard Rock Café at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. During the media event, checks will also be presented to the local organizations benefiting from the gala proceeds.
