Retired New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and the organization he established, the Jay Fund Foundation, will host the 20th Champions for Children Gala at MetLife Stadium on Thursday, October 10.
This year’s honorees include Ralph Andretta, Carolyn Tisch Blodgett, Next 3 Ventures Founder and CEO and Governor of NY/NJ Gotham FC, and Robert Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health.
Additionally, offensive lines from the Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI teams will be celebrated “for their unwavering commitment to childhood cancer patients and their families.”
From the Jay Fund Foundation:
Guests will experience special access to the New York Giants locker room and the field at MetLife Stadium as we raise funds for local families tackling childhood cancer. Cocktails and dinner will be followed by a live and silent auction featuring spectacular experiences and exclusive sports memorabilia. Meet Jay Fund families and hear their powerful testimonials as they share what it is like to walk in their shoes and the enormous impact your support provides.
Several former Giants are scheduled to appear, including Coughlin, Chris Snee, Harry Carson, Victor Cruz, Shaun O’Hara, Rich Seubert, Kevin Gilbride, and many more.
The Jay Fund Foundation, established in honor of late Boston College football player, Jay McGillis, who lost his battle with leukemia, has raised more than $28 million in financial support for over 5,800 families dealing with childhood cancer.
