It's official: the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are in the Gator Bowl to take on the #17 Demon Deacons
By nature, college football is a number of things.

A celebration of breast cancer survivors: the Old Hollywood Gala presented by Styletainment
During the heart of the holiday season, we can use a reminder of what is truly great about this time of the year. When you celebrate stories of triumph in the midst of trials and tribulations, things "hit" a little differently. Once juxtaposed with the festivity and energy of a black-tie/formal affair and the arts, you have an event that truly is second to none; this is exactly what takes place on Saturday evening, December 11th (2021), at the Hyatt Regency (New Brunswick, N
