Hackensack Meridian Health John Theurer Center to Receive $90,000 from E's Battle Buddies, Kids Fighting Cancer

Hackensack Meridian Health John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center will be accepting a generous donation of $90,000 from E’s Battle Buddies — Kids Fighting Cancer.

E’s Battle Buddies, a charity affiliated with Hackensack University Medical Center, raises money for rare cancer research and those going through the disease. Ethan Sandlofer, 10, of Saddle River, NJ, created the charity under the guidance of his father Jason Sandlofer, and with help from family and friends. Sandlofer started the nonprofit to honor his late mother, Gaby Sandlofer.

In May, E's Battle Buddies hosted a fundraiser at Lifetime Athletic Bergen County in Montvale. The kids-only event provided high energy, interactive activities, such as indoor cycling and obstacle runs, while raising money and awareness for lifesaving rare cancer research, and teaching kids the importance of giving back.

4:00 p.m.

Where: Hackensack University Medical Center
