Remembering the Heroes of Flight 93
Through our various events and initiatives, the Walk With Joe 9/11 Memorial Organization has donated over $450,000 dollars over the years and is committed to continuing this important work.
Walk With Joe began as a 5k walk 24 years ago honoring Patrick "Joe" Driscoll, a hero aboard Flight 93, along with other passengers and crew: Chris Gray, who worked for Cantor Fitzgerald, and Tom McCann, who lost his life responding to the scene while working for the NYC Fire Department. To honor all their memories and give comfort to all who lost someone on that tragic day, we will continue to remember their sacrifice through our annual golf outing.
Beneficiaries
All proceeds, including monies raised from participants and sponsors are donated to numerous charities. Organizations that have benefited include the Samaritan Center food bank, the Freehold Open Door food bank, The Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center, the Brennan Stands Alone Organization, American Recreational Military Services (ARMS), Monmouth Battlefield State Park, the RJM Foundation (a special needs youth organization), the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA, the Monmouth County Mount Mitchell Memorial Park, the University of West Virginia Christopher Gray Memorial Scholarship Fund, youth athletic programs, and numerous non-profit organizations serving the area with humanitarian aid and programs.
Memorial scholarships through the Freehold Regional High School District have been established to honor the memories of Chris Gray and Tom McCann.
Over the years, our committee past and present has endeavored to remember Joe, Chris and Tom with the annual walk and then a golf outing. We thank our committee below for their efforts.
