PARSIPPANY — Residents gathered at the Pine Brook Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday, October 13 to eat spaghetti, meatballs and Italian bread to raise money towards the medical expenses of Kyle Gauweiler.

About 400 attended the dinner, which included pasta and meatballs cooked by the Sons of Italy Lodge 2561, 50/50s and a tricky tray. The event raised about $20,000 for the 14-year-old, Kyle Gauweiler, who was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Kyle is the son of a Pine Brook Volunteer firefighter and his grandfather was a chief in the department. Kyle’s father is currently a captain, and his older brother Kevin is a senior member.

The tricky tray featured luggage, football memorabilia, tech items and other prizes, and just about every restaurant in Montville Township donated prizes. The Sons of Italy did all the cooking; it was a fun time and a good day. We were all on a mission – we had never run anything this big before.”

Kyle attended the event for most of the night.

The businesses were so generous in making this function happen, the R.E.A.C.H. kids were very helpful, the Sons of Italy made excellent food and it was just a wonderful evening.
