We are excited to announce our 2021 annual walk recipients. This year, Brave Hearts for Strong Minds has decided to sponsor two families instead of a single-family for our 9th Annual Walk.
Join us in celebrating the lives of Joe Nocero and Andy Phillips on September 18, 2021.
We will also be celebrating Amanda Moher, mother to our 2020 recipients Evan, Stella, and Dylan during our in-person walk this fall. Read more about the Moher’s here.
The Nocero Family
Joe Nocero was one who used his success in the brokerage field to help others through his generous philanthropy. He left behind his wife Melissa and young son, Dominic “Nico” (7). Joe was always known for his social nature, he was a beloved member of his community and an active sports fan, particularly of the Eagles. Joe passed away on November 17, 2019, when he unexpectantly went into cardiac arrest while attending an Eagles game.
The Phillips Family
In May 2020, after a hard-fought battle with COVID-19, Andy Phillips passed peacefully. He left behind his wife, Trish, and four children: Andrew (16), Aidan (18), Colin (21), and Grace (23). Andy was a cancer survivor, business owner, and would have gotten along well with Joe over their mutual love of sports. Andrew and Aidan will be our 2021 recipients.
Together with our community, we hope that we will be able to provide the support that these families need not only financially for their 529 education plans, but emotionally through the gathering of our community at the Annual Walk. Learn more about our walk and how to register by clicking here.
