New Jersey teen Lucas Weissman sets example in youth leadership 13-year old Lucas Weissman from Milburn, New Jersey organized a PeacePassers fundraiser at the Sports Academy (www.the-sports-academy.com) on June 24th, 2009. The event was to raise awareness and collect soccer supplies for PeacePassers. With this event Lucas took the opportunity to encourage his friends to participate in giving back to the game. Along with nearly 50 Millburn classmates and Ironbound Soccer Club teammates, they collected more than 25 soccer balls, 3 dozen pair of cleats, numerous soccer socks, shin guards, uniforms, goalie equipment, whistles, & cones. All will be shipped to the PeacePassers headquarters to then find a home with children around the world. The PeacePassers Team would like to thank Mark & Julie Weissman for helping to coordinate this memorable event!
Emanating creativity at its’ finest, Kristin Bird-Norman is turning 29 years-old on December 29th, 2008. Welcoming in her 29th year in a rightful way, Kristin is yet another example of someone who recognizes the joy found in giving.
Peace Passers would like to thank Suzy Nazimek. Suzy is an 11th grade student at Bishop Ahr High School in Edison, New Jersey and has played soccer for over 8 years. She serves as an excellent example to all of us, as a young athlete who has a natural passion for servant leadership. On her own will she contacted us with a desire to help the mission of Peace Passers. Since her link to Peace Passers Suzy has collected soccer gear and equipment from her teammates & friends as well as connecting with the Woodbridge Township Youth Soccer Association & Old Bridge Soccer Association in which she is able to reach out to her entire community.
