PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police PBA Local 131 sponsored a fundraiser for Emma, at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Buffalo Wild Wings donated 15 percent of the total bill (not including tax, gratuity, alcohol sales or promotional discounts) to the organization for Emma.
The contest featured teams of six contestants, each had to finish a dozen mild sauce Buffalo wings in a relay-style race. The teams competing were Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Officers, Parsippany Volunteer Ambulance Car 65, and the Parsippany Volunteer Fire District Six. The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department came in first place.
The officers who took home the “Wing-Eating Trophy” were Patrolman Gregory Bloete, Patrolman Matthew McAuliffe, Patrolman Zachary Koch, Patrolman Jesse Hughes and Patrolman Elvin Giordano.
It was estimated about $600 was raised off of $3,000 in sales from individuals who paid using a special fundraising coupon. The Lakeland Hills YMCA donated a one-year family membership valued at $975, which was is expected to add an additional money to the amount funds raised through a silent auction.
“Emma Marie Wyman is a happy, beautiful (one-year-old) baby girl undergoing at least one year’s worth of treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for a rare type of sarcoma. Her parents, AJ & Lindsey (Kmit) Wyman, who are lifelong residents of Parsippany, learned of Emma’s tumor in late May and have taken her to Philadelphia to be treated by internationally-recognized pediatric oncologists. As they await more in-depth results regarding the type of sarcoma Emma has and begin chemotherapy, AJ has begun to take time off from his job as a corrections officer, while Lindsey is on her unpaid summer break from teaching sixth grade social studies at Brooklawn Middle School. During this life-altering time, AJ and Lindsey will incur costs from medical to travel expenses, while keeping up with their regular monthly bills for their cars, home, etc.
Please know that even the smallest donation will go a long way to aid baby Emma and her loving parents during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you for your love, support, and above all, your prayers.”
