Mekhi Becton Visits Goryeb, Virtually

Since an in person visit was not possible,  Jets 2020 first round draft pick - Mekhi Becton - was still able to take a virtual tour via Facebook of Goryeb Children’s Hospital. It’s a wonderful tradition that COVID-19 could not interrupt.   

As the hospital’s team traveled from room to room and unit to unit, Mekhi was introduced to team members and children.  The uplifting conversations, warm sentiments for healing, smiles and laughter were the same even though miles apart. 


Sam Darnold Selects Atlantic Health System’s Goryeb Children’s Hospital for NFL’s #MyCauseMyCleats Campaign

Darnold chose Goryeb Children’s Hospital as it has been a special place for him since joining the Jets.

“Goryeb Children’s Hospital was one of the first stops I made after being drafted and I’m proud to support these kids any chance I can,” said Darnold. “I’ve made some incredible memories and connections with the children and their families that I’ve been fortunate enough to meet, so having their words of inspiration with me during the game is truly special.”


11-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Receives Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience with New York Jets

When Ethan Geller of Mendham, NJ had a brain tumor removed and was diagnosed with medulla blastoma (brain cancer) at the age of 7, his parents stayed positive during this difficult journey.

“There is an inner toughness to him, this kid will survive anything,” said his mother, Lisa.

Thanks to the cancer team at Atlantic Health System’s Goryeb Children’s Hospital, Ethan is now a healthy 11-year-old boy who is cancer-free.

With his family by his side, the New York Jets and Atlantic Health System provided Ethan – a dedicated Jets fan – with a memorable on-field experience when the Jets took on the Dallas Cowboys in October. Ethan served as one of the honorary captains for the coin toss prior to kickoff and had the opportunity to meet not only QB Sam Darnold, but his favorite player and Jets Legend, Joe Namath.


I mean this was above and beyond, magical, it really was a magical day. It meant everything to me.

Year After Heart Attack - NY Jets Fan Stands Heartbeats Away from Coin Toss

A little over a year later after Jay Ziegler suffered a massive heart attack, he found himself on the sidelines during pre-game warm ups when the New York Jets faced off against the New England Patriots on Monday Night football. As a lifelong Jets fan, Jay took this moment to not only revel in the fact he was serving as an honorary captain for the coin toss prior to kickoff, but to reflect on how far he’s come since his cardiac event.

“I was under the care of extraordinary people. I’m feeling as good now as I have ever felt; with the opportunity for a full and fruitful life,” said Jay.

“Tonight is a celebration of what these people achieved for me – I’m very grateful.”
