Among many nonprofits he’s contributed to throughout his career, Roger Coleman is an activer board member and Chairman Circle member of Tuesday’s Children, an organization supporting families affected by 911. To commemorate the event, Mr Coleman was asked by the Board of Govenors off the NASDAQ to represent Tuesday’s Children, to ring opeming bell at the Nasdaq Stock Market on September 10, 2021.

Tuesday’s Children assists families who lost a loved one due to terrorism and mass violence. Rather than providing one-off aid, Tuesday’s Children partners with a family for a lifetime, and tailors their help to suit the family’s current needs. They both operate their own programming and help locate programs that will benefit the interested family members the most. Examples of services families can ask for include job training, community service, or social activities.

Mr. Coleman led the families from Tuesday’s Children and rang the opening bell at 9:30 am Eastern Time, the time marking the 911 terrorist attacks. Those present also observed a moment of silence; this was broadcasted to 175 countries.

Advocates for Children’s Rights

With over 80 years of experience, Plan International strives to give every child an increased quality of life. Their members provide immediate, material assistance, and also invest in their target children’s futures. They work to end practices that exploit children, or put them in avoidable harm.

Plan International operates in over 75 countries. They open schools and offer education to girls who otherwise would not receive one, and end practices like child marriage, so the children they serve are treated with the dignity they deserve. They support children up until secondary education, granting access to job training, and even pass on their sense of advocacy to the same girls they assist, to emphasize their worth as individuals.
