11th Annual Michael's Feat Family Picnic

Michael’s Feat will host its 11th annual Family Picnic at the YMCA Camp
Arrowhead in Marlboro on July 30 to benefit families of seriously ill newborns
in Monmouth and Ocean counties.

The event, scheduled to run from 1 to 5
p.m., features fun activities for the entire family and will kick off the 11th
anniversary celebration for Michael’s Feat, a Matawan-based nonprofit named in
memory of Michael Gerard Puharic, born July 29, 2000, to Adam and Dana Puharic.
Although he lived for just 83 hours, his legacy lives on through the hundreds of
families who have been helped by Michael’s Feat over the past 10
years.

The event features something for the entire family to enjoy: a
barbecue buffet, covered picnic area, a swimming pool with lifeguard on duty,
crafts, face painting, inflatable rides and live musical entertainment from 1 to
5 p.m. Admission is $25 for adults, $12 for children ages 4-10, and free for age
3 and under. There is an immediate family plan of $70. Register online at
www.michaelsfeat.org before July 27 and save $10 on a family rate and $5 on one
adult admission.

Each year, Michael’s Feat honors a family with the
Heather Rose Tribute of Courage Award. This year’s recipients will be Carrie and
Kristopher Ganley, of Bayville. Their triplets were born at just 23 weeks
gestation on Dec. 11 and 13, 2010. The three newborns spent 89 days in the NICU
at Jersey Shore Medical Center.
