An honor that is not given to many, Roger Coleman gave closing remarks and rang the bell at the closing of the Nasdaq Exchange in New York City on Friday September 9th. Roger took part in a ceremony that featured families of victim’s from the September 11th attacks, Gold Star members, and members of the executive team from Tuesday’s Children.
Roger had the following to say about the organization and there
mission. “Last year, we commemorated the 20th Anniversary of the terrorist
attacks that took so many lives on, September 11th, and the two decades of
Tuesday’s Children’s dedicated service. As we begin our third decade providing
vital, trauma-informed, resilience-building programming, we remain steadfast in
our mission, and to the promise made 21 years ago to Never Forget, to the
families who lost loved ones, to the 3,051 children who lost a parent, and to
the more than 37,000 military families who have lost a service member
post-9/11. We are proud that our organization meets individuals and families
wherever they are on their journey to find recovery and resilience.”
Roger added that the organization will continue to attack
challenges head on going forward and will never lose sight of their purpose, to
offer hope and healing for families in need of our services.
“Thank you to NASDAQ for honoring our families and supporters today by ringing the closing bell and for your longstanding partnership which signifies our collective freedom & strength!” added Coleman.
