A key moment of the night was the introduction of Danielle Phillips, who shared her heartfelt story as the first recipient of the Childhood Cancer Society's Enchanted Theme Park Experience—an all-expenses-paid, week-long VIP vacation to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld with five-star accommodations at Give Kids the World Village. Danielle's daughter, Angelina, who passed away at just 10 years old after a courageous battle with neuroblastoma, was the inspiration behind the program. Now a brand ambassador for the organization, Danielle reflected on the joy and precious memories the trip provided during their most challenging times.

晚上的一个关键时刻是介绍了Danielle Phillips,她分享了自己的真挚故事,作为童年癌症协会“魔法主题公园体验计划”的首位受益人,这是一次全包、为期一周的迪士尼、环球影城和海洋世界的VIP度假,五星级住宿是在Give Kids the World Village。 Danielle 的女儿 Angelina 在与神经母细胞瘤的勇敢斗争后,在年仅10岁时去世,她是该计划背后的灵感。现在她是该组织的品牌大使,Danielle 回顾了这次旅行在他们最艰难的时刻提供的快乐和珍贵回忆。

The event also featured a special wish grant reveal for six-year-old Anjali, a New Jersey native currently in remission from neuroblastoma and receiving treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. Anjali, along with her mother Kim and little brother Alex, will embark on her own Enchanted Theme Park Experience this December, just after her final treatment milestone on November 7. The Saddle River community came together in a touching display of support to celebrate Anjali's journey, marking a memorable moment for everyone in attendance.

该活动还推出了一项特别的心愿实现计划,为六岁的安嘉莉(Anjali)进行了揭晓,她是新泽西州人,目前正在从神经母细胞瘤中痊愈,并在纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症医院接受治疗。安嘉莉与她的母亲金(Kim)和弟弟亚历克斯一同,在11月7日的最后一次治疗里程碑过后,将于今年12月进行自己的奇幻主题公园体验。桑德尔河社区齐心协力,在场的每个人共同庆祝安嘉莉的旅程,为在场所有人留下了一个值得铭记的时刻。

"Anjali is thrilled to be going to Disney World, a dream she's held onto throughout her treatment," said Kim Minocha, Anjali's mother. "With her last planned treatment in a couple of weeks, this will be a huge celebration of this milestone. We thank Adventure Ted and the Mayor for making this possible and bringing such joy to her."

“安嘉莉非常激动能去迪士尼乐园,这是她在治疗过程中一直梦寐以求的愿望,”安嘉莉的母亲金·米诺查(Kim Minocha)说道。“随着她几周后的最后一次计划治疗,这将是对这个里程碑的巨大庆祝。我们感谢冒险泰德和市长让这一切成为可能,并给她带来如此大的快乐。”

This fundraiser and Anjali's wish grant reveal served as the first major milestone of the Adventure Ted Challenge, a nationwide movement aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat pediatric cancer. At the center of this campaign is Adventure Ted, the superhero teddy bear of the Childhood Cancer Society and the symbol of courage, strength, and adventure for children and families facing this journey. Through the Adventure Ted Challenge, the Childhood Cancer Society strives to provide both financial relief and emotional support, creating an environment of hope for families during their hardest moments.

"Supporting families affected by pediatric cancer has been a mission close to my heart for most of my life. Learning that your child has cancer is a devastating reality that can affect anyone, anywhere. The Adventure Ted Challenge is about more than fundraising—it's about uplifting spirits and delivering hope to families in their hardest moments. If this mission speaks to you, I warmly invite you to join our movement. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the fight against childhood cancer."
