Paulie's Push Off ,Commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9-11 by honoring the flight crew's heroics as the very first first responder Please join us for the official "Push Off" event for Paulie's Push to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9-11 by honoring the flight crews who lost their lives on 9-11-01. Paulie will begin his 200-mile journey with a ceremony at the 9-11 Memorial. This event will include distinguished guests, speakers, and the family members and friends of the fallen flight crew. About Paulie's Push In a remarkable testimonial to his fallen crew members, retired United Airlines flight attendant Paul Veneto will mark the 20th anniversary of 9-11 by pushing an airline beverage cart from Logan Airport to Ground Zero. The beverage cart will be decorated with the airline crew’s photos as a reminder of their courage and bravery. Paul wants others to recognize the flight crew’s heroics as the very first responders that terrifying day. Along the 200-mile route between Boston and New York, Paul will share their stories and his own. Like this country, Paul’s story is also one of resilience. Paul was so deeply affected by 9-11, he almost lost his life to drugs. It took 15 years, but he finally freed himself from addiction. Now, in the very same spirit that we showed as a country in the face of darkness, Paul wants to help others find hope. “I am doing this because I want these crew members’ families to know how courageous they were that day. I want the public to understand that under those conditions that morning, what those crew members did, nobody could have trained for. They really need to be recognized as Heroes. They were the very first First Responders. That day sent me into a tailspin of opiate addiction that almost cost me my life. After almost 15 years of numbing myself out from the thoughts of that day, I have finally been freed from addiction since 2015. I can now finally give tribute to my fallen crew members.” – Paul “Paulie” Veneto. All proceeds will support the 9-11 crew members’ family’s registered not-for-profit organizations, and Power Forward in our continued efforts to establish Power Forward Sober Living Scholarships for those dealing with addiction. Paulie is living proof of what someone can accomplish when living a sober life. Paulie’s Push is sponsored by Power Forward, Inc, a 501c3 Non Profit Organization registered in the State of Massachusetts. To learn more about this amazing tribute, visit pauliespush.com.
