Community Raises Money For Middletown Girl, 7, Diagnosed With Leukemia

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — This Saturday night, April 1 the New Jersey Titans ice hockey team will have a special home game to raise money for a Middletown 7-year-old who was diagnosed with leukemia.

The Titans, which play out of the Middletown Sports Complex, will play for Skylar Adinolfi, 7.

She is in the second grade at Middletown Village School, where older sister Brianne is in the third grade.

"The two sisters love spending time together, especially when it involves swimming, playing badminton, experimenting with makeup and of course doing their nails," reads this fundraising page. "They are truly the best of friends. With mom, Amy, and dad, Thomas, this beautiful family of four loves watching movies together, going for walks in Holmdel Park and of course, a weekend isn't complete without a quick trip to Target!"

The Adinolfi family's life was turned upside down on December 2 when Skylar was diagnosed with leukemia.

"She spent the first few weeks inpatient at Robert Wood, and thankfully was able to go home just in time for the holidays," read the page.

The Adinolfi family of Middletown is now being supported by Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer and Spark Day Camp, where Skylar is a camper. Infinite Love For Kids Fighting Cancer is well known in Middletown and on the Bayshore, and raises money for children diagnosed with childhood cancers.

For the Adinolfi family, they have a goal of collecting $40,000 and so far has raised $22,474.

"Skylar is a loving, happy, outgoing, sweet little girl who brightens up any room that she enters," said her mother on the fundraising page.

The ice hockey game will be at 7 p.m. against the Northeast Generals and ALL proceeds from ticket and concession sales that night will be donated to the Adinolfi family. In addition to attending the game, you can donate to Skylar through Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer. To donate, please click here.

The New Jersey Titans are the reigning National Champions of the North American Hockey League.

Immediately following the game there will be Skate Night with the Titans.

Spark Day Camp is a part of the Middletown Sports Complex.
