A luncheon was held on October 27 by the South Jersey Traffic Safety Alliance (SJTSA), and in addition to the Feldmans, 11 other individuals and organizations were honored for their contributions in the past two years.

The Feldmans helped to create “Casey’s Law”  which requires motorists to stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks (See  Media Coverage 2010 – N.J. Pedestrian Law on the Memories website). They have also lent Casey’s image to be part of a pedestrian safety education and awareness campaign throughout South Jersey, as well as dedicated several pink remembrance trees to loved ones who were lost in traffic crashes. View photos from the awards luncheon.  To learn more about SJTSA, click here and to learn more about pink remembrance trees, click here.
