Make-A-Wish fund-raiser set for June 28 at Bar Anticipation
The New Jersey Chapter of the Marty Lyons Make-A-Wish Foundation will be hosting a Summer Fun Barbecue fund-raiser at Bar Anticipation, on 16th Avenue, in Lake Como, on Saturday, June 28.

Proceeds from the Summer Fun Barbecue will be used to grant special wishes for children from New Jersey who have terminal or life threatening illnesses.

An all-you-can-eat barbeque will be offered from 6 to 9 p.m. and will include hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chips, baked beans, corn on the cob, watermelon, potato and macaroni salads and a choice of one drink, whether it be beer, wine, soda or water.

Admission is $25 for adults. Children, ages 8 to 15, will be charged $15 at the door. Children, under 5 years of age, will be admitted free of charge.

The foundation will be offering a free Marty Lyons/Bar A t-shirt to the first 50 people who register to attend the fund-raiser.

The Marty Lyons Foundation is a non-profit organization known for its generosity in granting special wishes for children, ages 3 to 17, who have been diagnosed with terminal or life threatening illnesses.

The foundation has granted over 4,000 wishes over its 26-year history of fulfilling its mission.

It was Marty Lyons, the remarkable Jets football player, who in 1982 established the charitable organization. The foundation now has 10 chapters across the United States.

For Summer Fun Barbecue sponsorship information or to make reservations for the event, contact Lenny Erlanger at 732-280-5964 or by e-mail at lerlanger@live.com.

Please join the New Jersey Chapter of the Marty Lyons Foundation for an evening of fun as they aim to raise money to make area children’s special wishes come true.
