HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER AND NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS “TEAM UP” FOR THE TOUCHDOWN FUND: SCORE FOR KIDS, CARDIAC AND CANCER

An official partnership of the New York Football Giants & Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation

Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) and the New York Giants football team have literally “teamed up” to form the Touchdown Fund: Score for Kids, Cardiac and Cancer. This exclusive charitable partnership, a first of its kind for the New York Giants, will raise funds for the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation.

By becoming a part of the Touchdown Fund, contributors will have the satisfaction of knowing that their donations contribute to one of the nation’s most comprehensive and progressive medical centers, while also gaining unique access to the New York Giants. Fund members will be closer to the Giants than ever before, enjoying VIP admission to Giants Training Camp, attending Giants road games and special events, and being recognized annually at a Giants home game. Members of the Touchdown Fund will also receive permanent recognition at the TIMEX Performance Center, the official day-to-day home of the Giants.

“This charitable partnership of two champions, HUMC and the New York Giants, is truly a ‘win-win’ for all,” said Robert C. Garrett, president and chief executive officer of Hackensack University Medical Center. “We are also extremely proud that, because of this association, HUMC, one of the busiest and top-rated hospitals in the United States, can now be called the ‘Hometown Hospital of the New York Giants’.”

“We are honored to work with the doctors and caring staff at HUMC who suit up every day and go out to win by saving lives,” says John Mara, New York Giants’ president and chief executive officer.

“The joining of the NY Giants and HUMC Foundation is equivalent to a hometown Pro Bowl,” said Robert L. Torre, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation. “This venture will bring new and innovative fundraising opportunities to Hackensack University Medical Center and I welcome The Touchdown Fund members to the HUMC Foundation.”
