Players from the New York Jets American football team ensured youngsters at Goreyeb Children’s Hospital, in Morristown, New Jersey, started Halloween in ‘spooktacular’ style, with a special delivery of Ferrero treats, writes Neill Barston.
DJ Reed, Solomon Thomas, and Jordan Whitehead entered into the spirit of the season in sporting their best costume headgear and met with children receiving treatment offering their best greetings and give them a head start on trick-or-treating.
Players then posed for pictures, signed autographs and shared delicious Ferrero Halloween goodies such as Kinder Bueno Minis, Baby Ruth bars and Mother’s Eerie Critter Cookies with the children. Each youngster left with a bag of chocolate from Ferrero and an autographed football from the Jets players.
The confectionery and snacks business, which has considerably expanded its operations across the US, recently revived its 31 Days of Halloween Countdown Calendar, to help families celebrate Halloween throughout the month of October while raising money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Its spooky treat features Ferrero’s confections and cookies, including Butterfinger, CRUNCH, Baby Ruth, 100Grand, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Joy, Tic Tac, Nutella &GO!, Fannie May, Keebler Fudge Stripes Minis, and Mother’s Cookies.
Ferrero began the campaign with a $25,000 donation to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, with the business donating confections and cookies to select local children’s hospitals located near the company’s offices and plants throughout North America.
