Branchburg PBA helps local children from the dugout
Charity, athleticism and community building have become the
annual ingredients for Branchburg’s National Night Out in White
Oak Park. Aug. 2 marked the event’s thirteenth year running, with
help coming from organizations such as the Branchburg Local 397
– whose members regularly compete in the inter-generational softball game.
Other family-friendly events included a fun-run for children ages
10 and younger, and a competitive 5K run for adults. Proceeds from
this year’s event benefited two local children in Branchburg Township through Jack’s Kids, an organization that eases the financial
burden for families struggling to raise children who require ongoing
medical care.
With friendly assistance from colleagues representing
Branchburg Rescue Squad, North Branch Volunteer Fire Company
and Readington Fire Company, members of Local 397 defeated the
summer camp counselors from the Branchburg Recreational
Department.
Though the PBA won the softball game against the counselors,
the children in the community were the true winners of the
evening’s events. d
