t a special gathering on Nov. 28, the families taking part in the 2023 Jay’s Juniors trip to Walt Disney World met for the first time. The families met at Emagine Royal Oak before they all were to take their trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, on Dec. 5, after press time. The trip was scheduled to run through Dec. 9. This is the ninth year of Jay’s Juniors, organized by broadcaster Jay Towers, of radio station WNIC and Fox 2 Detroit. Towers said he and his team started the program as a way to help kids with life-altering and threatening illnesses to get an escape from doctors and hospitals and have fun. “I’ve been on radio in Detroit for a really long time, and during the holidays, I would get emails or letters back then from people saying, ‘My son or daughter is sick, would you be able to help this holiday season?’ and I wanted to find a way to do a program that just centered around kids around the holidays,” he said. The trip is all expenses paid, covering the charter plane, hotel, food, park passes and spending money. This year’s trip will have more than 20 families and kids heading to Disney World. This includes 14-year-old Skyler Pfromm and his family, of Clinton Township. According to Pfromm’s mother, Christina Kurzatkowski, the fluid in Pfromm’s See DISNEY on page 18A
