Jordan is a 7 year old resilient girl who was diagnosed with (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) just three days before her 7th birthday in 2015. As if hearing the word “cancer” wasn’t scary enough, she had to spend her birthday in the hospital, making matters worse.
Jordan immediately started chemotherapy but has had minimal side effects and few hospital stays. Jordan is a fighter, does not let the medicines bring her down even when it makes her very tired. She fights and stays strong . One of the things that saddened Jordan was not being able to attend school or see her friends. We are grateful for the help from Goryeb Childrens Hospital in Morristown, NJ who donated a robot that stood in Fair View Elementary School in her place during her absence. Jordan was able to maintain her happiness by logging on from her computer at home to see her teachers and friends.
Another difficulty that made Jordan sad was losing her hair. One of the toughest moments for Jordan’s parents was having to reassure her that hair doesn’t define her beauty, and it will grow back in time. When the time came to cut all of Jordan’s hair, she decided to shave her hair and place a cancer ribbon symbol on the back of her head. Jordan loved it and this allowed her to feel like herself again.
Jordan is now in her maintenance stage and is also attending school again. Jordan still has to take about 15 chemotherapy medicines weekly, but she doesn’t let that affect her spirit. She loves to play Just Dance 2016, loves makeup, dressing up, singing, coloring, building Legos, her Barbies, and her American Girl Dolls.
Jordan is an inspiration to all. As she reaches her 8th birthday, this February 19, she is happy to be here, as cheerful & irrepressible as she always was. Jordan always keeps a smile on her face regardless of what she is physically feeling. As her parents continue to drive Jordan back and forth to the Hospital (45 minutes away) they keep their spirits high, and faith even stronger! Nothing beats keeping their kids happy!
Please help the Charles Seller Foundation support this strong little girl and her amazing family in their goal to see their daughter, Jordan, continue battling her cancer as the fighter she is now, and to be able to live a long healthy life, telling her story with the smile on her face!

The Charles Seller Foundation would like to thank each and every person who supported in any way over the past three months. The cast, crew, and production team worked incredibly hard to have as amazing as a production as we did. Countless hours were spent in rehearsals getting ready for performances, but countless hours were also spent at car washes and ad drives doing our best to raise as much money as we possibly could. We would also like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came out to see our show and support Adriana Torres as well! As our President, Jon Lopiccolo said, we would not be able to produce a full length musical production and support someone in need without you. Our organization has 66 years of history, and we want to see it have another 66 years, and because of you, it is possible.

Congratulations to the winners of our awards this year as well. For those of you who were not at our closing ceremony tonight, the winners are:

The Doemling Award: Abby Miles
The Ralph V. Turano Award: Maria Rivas
The Olearchik Award: Tarajee Karriem
The Talent Time Award: Mark Schellhorn

As always, stay tuned in for updates on fundraisers and other ways to support us!
