PHF SPAGHETTI DINNER RAISES OVER $2,000.00 IN EDISON, N.J.

Woodbridge, NJ – Four year old Jeffrey Westdyke of Edison, New Jersey goes to preschool 5 days a week, plays with toys, watches TV, goes camping with the rest of his family and makes yucky faces at most green vegetables. This sounds pretty typical for any four year old.

But Jeffrey Westdyke is not a typical four year old boy. Jeffrey suffers from the incurable brain disease Hydrocephalus. Jeffrey’s mother Jennifer and father Jeff, have joined together with parents of 3 other New Jersey families, who also have a child with Hydrocephalus, to start the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation, Inc.

This past Sunday, November 1st, the Westdyke family hosted a Spaghetti dinner fundraising event to benefit the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation, Inc. The 4 hour event raised over $2,000.00 for the Foundation, as 150 people ate, danced, and purchased merchandise from the 6 vendors who helped sponsor the event.

The PFH, Inc. has raised just under $35,000.00 this year with there various fundraising events and plan to fund research projects dealing with Hydrocephalus while also donating money to New Jersey Hospitals that support Pediatric Hydrocephalus patients.
