NYC Radio: WPLJ Personality Race Taylor To Host Pre-K Gala

Race Taylor

When they asked Race Taylor to host the Montclair Community Pre-K's Crystal Ball Gala, the WPLJ 95.5 FM radio personality didn't hesitate a second before saying yes.

"The Montclair Pre-K is just a fantastic organization," Taylor told TheMontclair Times. "Very few programs offer the range of services that the Pre-K offers especially when it comes to tuition assistance."

The Crystal Ball Gala, which celebrates the Pre-K's 15th anniversary, takes place this Wednesday evening, May 8, at 7 p.m. in the Montclair Art Museum's Leir Hall.

Taylor, who has lived in Montclair with his wife Patty and their three children for more than a decade, has learned a lot about the Pre-K through his oldest child who has done volunteer work there.

"My oldest has served as chaperone at the Pre-K's fall festival and has read stories to the children," Taylor said. "You can't help but be impressed by the work the Pre-K does."

Following his kid's lead, Taylor will be doing some volunteering of his own, serving as the gala's master of ceremonies. He'll be in good company with help from CNBC anchor Tyler Mathisen and his wife Joanne who will serve as auctioneers, during the ball.
