TJX Remembers 7 Employees Lost on 9/11

Media statement from Carol Meyrowitz, chief executive officer, TJX Companies, Inc. re the 10th anniversary of 9/11:

“On Sept. 11, 2001, America was changed forever, as was . Thousands of innocent people were lost, including seven TJX Associates, all fine young women - Christine Barbuto, Neilie Casey, Tara Creamer, Linda George, Lisa Fenn Gordenstein, Robin Kaplan and Susan Mackay.

Marking the 10th anniversary of that tragic day, in memory of these Associates, we are making a $50,000 contribution to The FealGood Foundation, an organization that supports "first responders" who, without thought for themselves, rushed to assist with the rescue and recovery efforts needed at the disaster sites.

In the name of each of our lost Associates, it is our honor to sponsor a granite paver stone as part of The National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center.

In Boston, we are a lead sponsor of the "Massachusetts Remembers" Sept. 11 commemorative event on the Boston Esplanade.

At our Framingham headquarters, our Memorial Garden, dedicated in 2002 to our lost associates, is planted in white for this anniversary and continues to be a place for quiet reflection on the lives lost in the attacks.

Within our U.S. offices, we will share a Moment of Silence together on Friday, Sept. 9, remembering these Associates, as well as all who were lost that day.

Along with our own lost colleagues, we honor the thousands of lives lost, innocent people from every walk of life and background. We also honor the members of the armed forces, the many who have given their lives and those who bravely defend our freedom today.
