by John Russel Jones

Johnell Garmany and his team hosted the seventh annual Garmany BOOM on Friday, September 16th, 2022, at the Garmany store in Red Bank, New Jersey. The festive cocktail party, held to raise money for the Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF), included both silent and live auctions and raised a record-breaking $185,000. The event was hosted by Garmany, as well as Esiason and his CBS “The NFL Today” co-host Phil Simms. Also in attendance was Esiason’s son-in-law, the New York Islanders’ Matt Martin.

Former NFL Quarterback Esiason created the foundation in 1993 when his son Gunnar was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Since then, BEF has been leading the charge in raising awareness, funding research, and providing support for the CF community. BEF is a dynamic partnership of leaders in the medical and business communities, joined with a committed core of volunteers who help support families in their fight against cystic fibrosis.

Auctioned items included Andy Warhol prints, an at-home Omakase sushi dinner for eight, and a vacation at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, and, of course, a Garmany shopping spree and plenty of autographed footballs.
