Ex-NY Giant Spent The Day With Child Cancer Patients In Paramus

Super Bowl champion Kevin Boothe, with the help of Tom Coughlin's Jay Fund Foundation, spent some time with 30 pediatric cancer patients.

PARAMUS, NJ — A Super Bowl-winning New York Giant helped some pediatric cancer patients have a special, fun-filled day.

Kevin Boothe was on hand to join in the family fun day at Humdingers and lend his support to local families. Ex-Giants coach Tom Coughlin's Jay Fund Foundation sponsored the event.

Kids were treated to ice cream sundaes and went bowling, played laser tag and arcade games, and swung bats in batting cages.
