Special Thanks To All of Our Donors!

“When we started Joey’s Friends almost 25 years ago we had one goal in mind, it was to put together the Joey Dente Pediatric Pulmonary Function Test Lab in Joey’s memory to help other children with pulmonary problems. It took almost 6 years of Grass Roots fundraisers but we did it. 

The next year Joey’s Friends Too was formed. Joe, myself and Maria vowed to never let a child go without necessary medical equipment because their insurance felt it wasn’t necessary. I think our mission is actually twofold, first and most importantly we know how it feels to be turned down by an insurance company for something that may not be medically necessary to “life” but mentally necessary to live!!!

Secondly, keeping Joey’s memory alive through helping these kids is exactly what Joey would have wanted!!!

I’m afraid if I start listing the people I need to thank I will forget someone and that would be terrible so I’m just going to say...THANK YOU my Village, without you none of this would be possible.”
