Jeremy's Heroes to Honor Cushman & Wakefield's Jeremy Neuer
June Golf Classic in Memory of 9/11 Flight 93 Hero to Support Kids' Programming
BEDMINSTER, N.J., March 8, 2010 - Jeremy's Heroes, a non-profit organization formed in memory of 9/11 Flight 93 hero Jeremy Glick, will honor Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.'s Jeremy Neuer of Whippany, N.J., during its 9th Anniversary Golf Classic on Thursday, June 10. A senior director in the commercial real estate services firm's Edison, N.J., office, Neuer will be recognized with the Jeremy's Heroes Sportsmanship Award during the event, which will raise funds for physical and character education programming.
The Golf Classic will be held at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, with accommodations for 132 golfers. The day will include a full lunch, 18 holes of golf, a cocktail reception, silent auction and awards dinner. Each year, Jeremy's Heroes presents its Sportsmanship Award to a community leader who demonstrates outstanding generosity, compassion and devotion to improving the lives of children.
Neuer has been a supporter of the Jeremy's Heroes Golf Classic for the past three years. He also is actively involved in the NephCure Foundation, which is the only organization solely committed to seeking a cause and cure for FSGS, and runs an annual event for the group in New Jersey.
He contributes to the MS Society, the Morristown Memorial Hospital camp program and the Community Food Bank, and he is an active member of his temple. Within the commercial real estate industry, he serves on the board of CoreNet Global and on the board of its New Jersey Chapter as secretary. In the past, he has volunteered as the chair of CoreNet's charity golf outing.
"We are dedicated to teaching our Jeremy's Heroes children to be leaders in their communities and always demonstrate compassion to others through service," said Jennifer Glick, executive director of Jeremy's Heroes. "Jeremy is the perfect role model for this, which is why we are thrilled to present to him the JH Sportsmanship Award for his dedication to helping those in need."
The Jeremy's Heroes organization benefits children through sports and community service projects. Its namesake, Jeremy Logan Glick, was one of the heroic passengers aboard Flight 93. On September 11th, 2001, he sacrificed his life to prevent terrorists from flying into its intended Washington D.C. target, saving countless lives. Jeremy is an American hero.
Jeremy's Heroes provides funding for: sports camp tuition, tournament and travel scholarships, training and coaching, equipment and uniforms, facility refurbishment, opening new program sites, establishing after-school programs, and even entire physical education and after-school programs in schools.
"Jeremy's Heroes is making a real difference for children," Neuer said. "I am pleased to support its mission and am both honored and humbled to have been chosen to receive its Sportsmanship Award. I encourage people to learn more about this outstanding organization and come out for the Golf Classic, which always is a fun and inspiring event.
