New York, NY – December 2015
Starting on December 1, 2015, the Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF) will be featured in a window display at Rockefeller Center, helping to raise awareness about Team Boomer – the athletic arm of the Foundation that encourages people with cystic fibrosis (CF) to live active, healthy lifestyles and welcomes all athletes to join in the fight.
“We are so excited to be featured at such an incredible New York City landmark. As a Long Island native, I know just how important Rockefeller Center is around the holidays and the vast number of people who flock to see the window displays, iconic tree, and to ice skate,” said Boomer. “EHE International’s generosity in highlighting BEF around the holidays is humbling – and seeing my Foundation featured in a window at Roc Center is a dream come true.”
“EHE International is delighted to host the Boomer Esiason Foundation in raising awareness about cystic fibrosis,” said Deborah McKeever, President of EHE International.
