MIDDLETOWN, NJ Remember these young men? The five Middletown teen boys who jumped into a frozen pond this past December and saved two little kids in a sledding accident will be honored with a $7,500 prize this May.
The money is given out by the Russell Berrie Foundation, a Mahwah-based non-profit that gives out money annually to people across New Jersey.
Kieran Foley, Joseph Dietrich, Drew Scalice, Ryan Day, and Tyler Armagan all freshmen at Middletown High School North will be awarded the money in virtual award ceremony on May 7.
One of the biggest songs and more well known of David Bowie is Heroes , where in it he recites the line, if we could be heroes, just for one day , and that line can be used to describe a number of different people and groups.
There is one award, one foundation and one college in particular working together to recognize the unsung heroes in our life, those going above and beyond and those doing the right thing impacting the lives of a couple others, hundreds of other or perhaps thousands of others.
