Family Reach Foundation held its 5th Annual NJ Culture & Caring Event on Thursday, May 15th. Over $6,000 in proceeds was raised at the wine tasting and art gathering at the Endless Vine in Franklin Lakes, NJ. The event honored Kristine Morello-Wiatrak, a longtime resident of Oakland and graduate of Indian Hills High School, who lost her battle with Ewing's sarcoma in 1995 at the age of 27.

At the event, local residents had the opportunity to honor Kristine's memory while raising money for other families fighting pediatric cancers. Guests enjoyed light appetizers and sampled wines from Endless Vine's varied selection from vineyards in France, Italy, Australia, California, and more. Artwork from local residents were displayed and available for purchase. All proceeds from the event, including 100% of the photography and paintings were donated to support Family Reach's mission of helping with the everyday bills that pile up during cancer treatment.
