Kick Cancer Overboard Awards 3 Free Cruises to New Jersey Families

Red Bank, NJ, January 18, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Kick Cancer Overboard teamed up with the Count Basie Theatre's Rockit Live Foundation for a three-hour concert to help send three New Jersey families struggling with cancer on a free cruise.

The fundraiser took place at the Buona Sera Palazzo in Ocean Township and featured a 4- course dinner for a 5-star cause.

There was not a dry eye in the room when three local families (all affected by cancer) were surprised with a free cruise to Bermuda, on Royal Caribbean's new ship Anthem of the Seas.
