“Fishing with Heroes” IMMEDIATE CARE EVENT BROUGHT FAMILIES TOGETHER embers of the community gathered together on July 14, 2015, to take part in a “Fishing with Heroes” event sponsored by Immediate Care CEO and local Hometown Hero, Sal Cannizzaro. A total of 40 members of the community set sail for the open seas aboard Mi-Jo, a 75 foot fishing boat, to enjoy a day together. The group left the Atlantic Highlands bright and early at 7:00 a.m. Aboard the ship, Sal Cannizzaro took a moment to talk about the importance of spending quality time with family members. As a young boy he remembers spending many a day wishing he had a strong father figure and the means to go fishing. Eric Allen, of Union Beach, said, “We had a great time, and are really appreciative of the opportunity. The kids had a great time and for all of them it was the first time to see a shark up close and personal. A first time they may never have had if it wasn’t for Immediate Care & Hometown Heroes.” This kind of response is the sentiment we want to bring to the people of our community. Mr. Stone, a member of “Father Time” Community Organization of Keansburg who came aboard with three generations of his family stated, "This is great. We can all come out together since the cost of fishing
nowadays is more than the cost to purchase a fish from a supermarket.” One of the most important aspects of life is not always what you have, but who you spend it with. While the day was filled with excitement, no one was more excited than Sal Cannizzaro to have the opportunity to give back to the community. Immediate Care would like to give a special thanks to Hometown Heroes, and the girls of Operation Cupcake who provided the group with delicious sweets for the trip. We would also like to give a special thanks to everyone that lent a helping hand for the event.
