NEWARK, NJ - Miami Dolphins Tight End Anthony Fasano teamed up with international hunger relief organization Feed The Children and Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. to provide 400 Newark-area families with boxes of food and personal care items on Sunday, June 28, 2009. This food distribution was held the day before the Anthony Fasano Foundation Golf Classic at the Upper Montclair Country Club. This food drop has become an annual tradition as Anthony tries to take advantage of his time back in New Jersey. This year Anthony was joined by Miami Dolphis teammate, Akin Ayodele as he also gave his time and energy to the cause. Newark Emergency Services for Families is a Feed The Children partner agency and pre-identified the recipient families. The boxes are designed to help supplement a family for up to one week. “We are so grateful for Anthony Fasano and Newark Emergency Services for Families,” said Larry Jones, president and co-founder of Feed The Children. “Four hundred families will receive food because of this generous gift of kindness.” For more information about the food drop, golf tournament, and The Anthony Fasano Foundation please visit http://www.lunarsportsgroup.com For more information on Newark Emergency Services For Families and how to donate, please go their website www.nesfnj.org.
