The PACT programs from Perth Amboy (blue) East Brunswick (purple) and New Brunswick (red) had an afternoon of friendly competition, lunch, music and a lot of fun.
Each team participated in events such as a water balloon toss, corn hole, soccer and bocce ball and at the end of the events a winner was chosen based on points. There was even a long game of bingo for those who didn’t want to partake in the sports.
This yearly event gets clients together and gives them an opportunity to socialize. It was a beautiful day so the clients were able to be outside and meet others in the PACT program. There were lots of smiles throughout the event.
