9/11 Memorial: Suarez Softball
9/11 Memorial: Suarez Softball
On
September 11, 2001, David Suarez — a 1995 West
Windsor-Plainsboro graduate — was working on the 99th floor of
the North Tower of the World Trade Center for Deloitte &
Touche. In the four years since then, his friends and family
have worked to honor his memory by holding a softball
tournament each summer to raise money for a scholarship fund
for High School South in David’s memory.
This year’s
scholarship recipient is Stephanie Perl, who received $1,500.
This year’s tournament will be Saturday, July 16, at 10 a.m.
at High School South. The event is free. For more information
visit www.davidsuarez.org or call 917-685-7506.
Says Jeffrey Tobias, a college friend who now lives in
Rockaway and works at Lincoln Educational Services in West
Orange: “Each year I like to reflect back on my friendshiup
with Dave. All the teams involved in the tournament knew him
in some way. I’m sure it means something different to
everyone, but the purpose of the event is to remember Dave and
honor him.”
Over the years, the eight teams that
routinely compete have raised over $30,000, including money
raised from the sale of raffle tickets, an entrance fee,
donations, and prizes. To make a donation, send check payable
to the David Suarez Scholarship Fund to KAO Educational
Foundation, Box 1865, Lexington, VA 24450.
