Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Jacqueline Laurita, boxing champion Eric Kelly, Ramsey Councilman Ken Tyburczy, and Passaic County Sheriff’s PBA President Mike Abdinoor all attended The Emmanuel Cancer Foundation’s Second Annual Hollywood Bash held this month at the Ridgewood Woman’s Club. The fundraiser was hosted by Franklin Lakes resident Tom Murro from the Fox Morning Show and News 12NJ Anchor Roxanne Evans of Jersey City, who did an outstanding job as emcee. The evening was filled with fun, food, cocktails and dancing -- all for a fantastic cause. The fundraiser brought in over $22,000 to help families who have children battling cancer. Auction items included a giant gift basket of Laurita’s favorite things, a one-hour boxing session with Kelly, lunch at Positano’s with Real Housewives Kim G., dinner with Food Network Chef Chris Nirschel, and many other great items. ECF client P.J. Schmidt and his grandmother Catherine Jones shared their stories about how much ECF helped them during P.J.’s painful chemotherapy treatments when he was just 11. There was not a dry eye in the house as he spoke of how ECF would bring groceries with special gifts hidden inside the bags, and how ECF replaced their broken refrigerator. Jones had to quit her job, lost her car, and struggled to pay her bills so she could be by her grandson’s bedside. In another two years, P.J. will be considered cancer-free. One of the prizes being offered was a new iPad that P.J. said he hoped to win. When the prize went to someone else, ECF Northern Regional Director Laura Savage found an iPad for him.
