More Than $7,700 Donated To Help Wyckoff's Becca Battle Cancer

WYCKOFF, N.J. — The township's finest continue to grow beards and money continues to be donated to help an 8-year-old girl battle cancer.

Becca was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a blood and bone marrow cancer, on Sept. 8, 2014. She is counting down her last 100 days of chemotherapy, which is scheduled to end Nov. 13.

Becca and New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, her favorite football player, launched Eli's Challenge to try and raise $100,000 for Tackle Kids Cancer, a initiative created by The Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack University Medical Center to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer patients.

Wyckoff police officers are growing beards in month in support of the campaign. The Wyckoff PBA Local 261 will donate to the campaign at the end of the month.

"We're happy to help and hope our participation draws attention to Becca and her fight," Officer Kevin Pinches, Wyckoff PBA president said of the Beards for Beeca campaign.

More than $7,700 has been donated to Becca's campaign.
