More than 200 friends and family of Peter Alderman are expected to participate in the seventh annual Friends of Peter Alderman Walk on Sunday, Sept. 20, at Fenway Golf Club in Scarsdale, according to organizers.

Alderman was killed in the World Trade Center tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001, and the foundation established in his name is hoping to raise $150,000 at this year’s event. It will be held rain or shine.

“We are very excited to be holding this year’s FOPA Walk and Family Day again in Scarsdale,” said FOPA Co-Chair Dr. Gregory Janis, of Manhattan, in a statement. “Last year we moved the event to Scarsdale both to bring it home to where Pete loved growing up, and to accommodate our own expanding families.”

The Sept. 20 walk will take place from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fenway Golf Club is located at 384 Old Mamaroneck Road in Scarsdale. Immediately following the walk will be a celebratory BBQ with entertainment and activities for the whole family including, a dunk tank, bouncy castles, face painting, games and sports, tie dye art-making, carnival booths and much more.

Added Demarest, NJ resident and FOPA Walk Co-Chair Tina Schweid, “It has become a much anticipated special day. Each year we look forward to reconnecting with others who loved Peter, miss him and want to honor his memory by contributing to the great work of the Peter C. Alderman Foundation.”

Dr. Janis and Mrs. Schweid were his among Peter Alderman’s best friends in Scarsdale, where they all grew up together. If he were alive today he would be 39.

A $30 donation is requested for non-registered adult Walkers and $15 per non-registered child to cover expenses. For more information or to register go to: walk.petercaldermanfoundation.org
