The CARE Center of NJ, in partnership with the 11th Annual Tri-County Fair in Rockaway, NJ, is proud to honor some of our community’s bravest young fighters—children recovering from serious illnesses.

In June 2025, these Fair Superstars and their families will be treated to an all-access VIP experience, including free rides, games, food, prizes, and more—a day filled with joy, fun, and unforgettable memories.

We invite area hospitals to help us recognize these incredible kids by nominating a Fair Superstar.

We believe in recognizing the extraordinary strength it takes to overcome illness, and we are excited to offer a day where these families can relax, enjoy, and be celebrated by their community. Join The CARE Center of New Jersey as we seek to restore dignity, renew hope, and rebuild lives! Nominate a 2025 Fair Superstar today!

Who is eligible?

Any child that is amidst recovery or has fully recovered from any type of illness or sickness is eligible to be selected for this initiative. We want to involve many recovering children that can benefit from this unique experience. 

How can my hospital or medical group participate?
