NEW JERSEY –Aaron Boone took time from managing the New York Yankees, which now have the best record in Major League Baseball, to help Make-A-Wish® New Jersey.

Boone is a long-time supporter of Make-A-Wish® New Jersey, which creates life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses in the Garden State. More than 300 people came together this week at a charity golf event at the Forsgate Country Club and The Samuel & Josephine Plumeri Wishing Place where Boone welcomed everyone to the event.

Guy Chiarello, Executive Chair of the 11^th Annual Charity Golf Outing and Chief Operating Officer of Fiserv, used his leadership within the fintech industry to support this event and bring light to the cause for over 13 years.

“Children often come to Make-A-Wish at a frightening time in their lives, when they are dealing with hospital trips and uncertainty,” said NJFX CEO Gil Santaliz, who attended the event. “Events like these are important to help fulfill the spirits of these critically ill children, who need support, care, and hope at a time when they need it most. NJFX is proud to support Make-A-Wish New Jersey and thanks to the Strongbow Group for inviting us to this magical event.”

The Charity Golf Outing has raised millions of dollars for several critical causes during the past 11 years, with a special focus on the advancement of cancer research, health services, and youth education services. Proceeds from the outing are supporting several organizations, including Make-A-Wish NJ, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, A Chance in Life, and Capital Health.
