New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, alongside several teammates, brought joy to young patients in a local hospital with a Halloween-themed visit. Dressed in costumes, the players engaged with children, including five-year-old Giuseppe Maneiro, who is currently battling leukemia. The team’s efforts, in conjunction with Tackle Kids Cancer, created a memorable experience for the children and their families.
The Maneiro family expressed their gratitude on social media, highlighting Giuseppe’s delight in trick-or-treating with the Giants players. Reports indicate that the players dedicated several hours to interacting with the children, offering a welcome distraction and creating positive memories during a challenging time. Such community engagement reflects the growing trend of athletes using their platform to support pediatric cancer initiatives, which affect approximately 10,170 children in the United States each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
