WATCH: Giants’ Eli Manning surprises family with appearance at Make-A-Wish Foundation in N.J.
Updated Apr 13, 2021;
Eli Manning poked his head out of the castle at the Make-A-Wish foundation in Monroe Rownship on Tuesday afternoon and then hid behind a pillar, waiting for his cue. The former Giants quarterback was trying not to be spotted too soon.
Cassandra Izquierdo and Jack Lindsay had no idea what was coming. They were at the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Monroe Township to honor their late daughter, Penelope (a.k.a. Penny), who passed away in February after a battle with neuroblastoma.
Penny’s wish was to provide a contribution to Tackle Kids Cancer (TKC), a pediatric cancer research and patient care program through the Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health Children’s Cancer Institute, where Penny received treatment.
