License Plate Guy's Tailgate Party Raises More than $3,000 at Clarkstown Mall

Joe Ruback, known to thousands of New York Giant fans as “License Plate Guy”, hosted a special Pink Fund Tailgate Party Sunday at the Clarkstown Mall shopping center and raised more than $3,000 for The Pink Fund, a non-profit that financially assists local families struggling to cover typical cost-of-living expenses while a loved one goes through breast cancer treatment.

“I’m honored to be hosting this Pink Tailgate Party with the Pink Fund,” Ruback said in a press release. “The financial assistance The Pink Fund gives families takes HUGE pressure off the patient, who in many cases, is the sole or primary breadwinner. And Clarkstown residents can feel good knowing that the funds we raise here at the Clarkstown Mall will go to help breast cancer patients in the immediate area.”

All goods and services and food and refreshments were donated for the event.

The following Clarkstown Plaza shops and other friends of License Plate Guy donated gift certificates and services that were raffled off to 35 lucky winners and some businesses even donated 10 percent of their sales during the tailgate:

Since 2005, The Pink Fund has been providing financial assistance to patients in active treatment, who are unable to work and experience a loss of income that has resulted in catastrophic financial losses and the need to rebuild financial health. The Pink Fund provides financial support to help meet basic needs, decrease stress levels and allow breast cancer patients to focus on healing while improving survivorship outcomes.
