Reachin' for a cause

Brad Pastrick, 17, of North Brunswick, leaps to catch the ball during a passing drill at the third annual Joanne J. Amato Kick Cancer fundraiser for the Embrace Kids Foundation, New Brunswick. The event, held June 7 at Heavenly Farms, East Brunswick, is dedicated to the memory of late East Brunswick resident Joanne J. Amato, a pediatric and infertility nurse who dedicated her life to the wellbeing and care of children. SCOTT FRIEDMAN
