The fundraiser, organized by EPTG owners Jaclyn Fulop and Drew Nussbaum, will take place on Tuesday, October 10th at the Pilsener Haus Biergarten in Hoboken, located at 1422 Grant St., at 7:30 p.m.
“This disease has touched my life so deeply through my best friend‘s battle with Stage 4 metastatic triple-negative breast cancer,” Fulop said in a statement.
“It is essential that we come together as a community to ensure every woman has access to necessary resources for early detection. Our fundraising event is an opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.”
As someone who has witnessed firsthand the profound impact that early detection can have on outcomes, Fulop, who is also on the board of Let’s Save Ma, is committed to ensuring that all women have access to the information and resources they need for early detection.
This cause holds personal significance for her since in November 2021, Fulop’s childhood best friend Gianna was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
Despite undergoing an extensive surgery and numerous rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, her friend received the devastating news earlier this year that the cancer had not only returned but had spread even further.
The oncology team delivered a heartbreaking prognosis of just 12-15 months left to live and Gianna ultimately passed away on September 16th of this year.
Let’s Save Ma aims to raise awareness about breast cancer and promote regular screenings for early detection.
“This disease doesn’t discriminate based on age or background. I’ve made it my life’s work now not only because I want other women like me to become aware but also because I believe we can make prevention accessible through education and early detection,” added Let’s Save Ma Founder Deval Gadhvi.
CarePoint Health, an event sponsor, also understands the importance of early detection and annual screenings along with providing greater access to Mammograms within the communities they serve in Hudson County.
“CarePoint Health is excited to help support and sponsor Jaclyn Fulop‘s and EPTG’s upcoming fundraiser for the nonprofit organization Let’s Save Ma. Breast Cancer and people suffering is personal to the entire CarePoint family and we look forward to supporting this great cause,“ the group said in a statement.
During the month of October, Carepoint will be holding a Mammogram-o-thon providing appointment free access to Mammograms at each of their three hospitals: Christ Hospital, Hoboken University Medical Center and Bayonne Medical Center.

Jaclyn Fulop is apparently is looking to get some good PR to counterbalance all the bad PR from her backdoor political attempt to open her cannabis store in a residential building on 14th Street Hoboken.
At this point any cause connected to Jaclyn Fulop is tainted.
