yesterdayThursday night was a different kind of primetime event at MetLife Stadium.
The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund, founded by the legendary New York Giants coach, celebrated and honored local families impacted by childhood cancer.
“When families hear those words - that they have a child with cancer - their lives completely change,” Coughlin said.
Among the messages in the Giants locker room, they ask their players to be tough, energetic and team-first. Their four newest recruits might be some of the strongest in this room.
Kaylee, Averie, Luciana and Jabari are among the honored guests at the annual gala. Each of them got their own locker next to Giants all-stars, filled with their favorite things.
Coughlin founded the Jay Fund after one of his players at Boston College, Jay McGillis, battled leukemia. It’s been 20 years since he brought the foundation to New Jersey.
The goal is to take things like medical bills and other issues off the table, to keep the families’ focus on their loved ones.
Optimum is a partner of the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund. Optimum is the sister company of News12.
“For us to be able to participate by helping continue to ensure that families have the connectivity that they need during this challenging time, it really struck us as a great opportunity to partner,” said Altice USA CEO Dennis Mathew.
