In this week’s episode of Your New Jersey with Lisa Marie Falbo, we shine a spotlight on Newark’s vibrant talent and the power of investing in youth. Sabrinna Dias, a Newark native who soared to fame on The Voice Season 21, shares her inspiring journey from her roots in the city to her rise as an independent artist. While balancing her music career, Sabrinna is dedicated to modernizing music education and empowering the next generation of musicians as a public school music teacher.
Next, we head to the 2025 Devils Sweep the Deck Gala, where over 800 guests raised a record-breaking $2 million for the Devils Youth Foundation. The evening celebrated community spirit and generosity, with the transformation of the Devils’ home ice into a curling rink and casino lounge. Guests also enjoyed a performance by the Newark Arts High School Latin Band, underscoring the importance of supporting local talent and uplifting Newark’s youth through the arts.
