There will be numerous activities and highlights, making it a wonderful family experience, notes Jerry Walker, founder of Team WalkerNew Jersey Nets Mascot, Sly – all at no cost.
“Jersey City has been a major part of my life and I feel it is important to help provide the youth with year-round recreational programs so that they may become more engaged in their community,” states Joseph Panepinto of Panepinto Properties. On behalf of the company, Stephanie Panepinto will be working with Team Walker to promote the walk. As part of Panepinto Properties sponsorship children from Saint Patrick’s school will be participating.
Team Walker was founded in 1996 by Jersey City natives Jerry and Jasper Walker who aspired to give Jersey City children the same after school programs they enjoyed while growing up. They knew these programs helped them mature academically, and also provided Jerry with an athletic outlet for his basketball abilities.
After graduating from Saint Anthony High School and helping the Friars win a national championship, Jerry enrolled at Seton Hall University and was instrumental in helping to lead the Pirates Men’s Basketball team to three NCAA Tournament. For his efforts, Walker was honored with the Metropolitan Player of the Year Award, the ESPN Post-Player of the Year Award.
Returning to his childhood neighborhood after enjoying a professional basketball career in Europe, Jerry saw the need for academic and recreational programs once again in Jersey City. The Team Walker vision was to create a program that would provide safe and constructive alternatives to negative influences that plague inner city youth. Through a structures academic and recreational environment, the children would learn how to focus on team work, responsibility, persistence and unity.
To their credit, the program had been hugely successful, growing from one basketball clinic, and a handful of children, to nearly 1,000 participants, and year-round academic and athletic programs in Jersey City.
Corporate sponsorships are available for The Walk for Team Walker. The walk is designed to raise money and public awareness benefiting the youth of Jersey City. For more information contact dreonieri@positiveimpactpartners.net or call Donald Reonieri at (201) 939-8601 x207.
