Even in the thick of a high-stakes NFL season, the New York Giants rookie class proved that their biggest impact isn’t always made on the gridiron.
Finding a moment in their busy weekly schedule—sandwiched between a hard-fought battle against the Saints and preparations for this Sunday’s matchup against the Texans—the rookies brought an early dose of Halloween magic to the pediatric patients at the Hackensack Meridian Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital.
Trading their football gear for smiles and trick-or-treat bags, fourteen players visited the campus of Hackensack University Medical Center to distribute candy, special gifts, and signed mini-helmets. The surprise visit filled the halls with laughter, offering a welcome distraction and a massive morale boost for the children, families, and hospital staff.
Hospital officials expressed deep gratitude for the players’ generosity, recognizing:
- Arvell Reese
- Ben Mann
- Bobby Jamison-Travis
- Colton Hood
- Dominic Zvada
- SiSi Mauigoa
- Geno Vandemark
- Grant Finley
- JC Davis
- Jack Kelly
- Jarrod Gray
- Malachi Fields
- Ryan Schernecke
- Thaddeus Dixon
