AJO In the Community

Under clear blue skies, Andy O’Connor, President of AJO, participated in his ninth annual ride this month.

Says Andy, “This was the best weather I can recall. Plus, we had limited injuries, a record of 1400 riders and a record donation of S1.5 million in support of NLEOM.”

Of special note this year was a detour in New York. The riders stopped at Ground Zero to commemorate the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

AJO was honored during the awards luncheon and ceremony on October 12th in Livingston, NJ.

The NJ Family Business of the Year Award program is sponsored by the Rothman Institute, PNC Bank and New Jersey Monthly.

Once again, AJO fielded a team of runners and walkers in the 2010 Verizon Corporate Classic 5K  event, billed as Morris County's largest fitness event. 

The event benefits Jersey Battered Women's Service. 

The race is in its fifth year, attracting 4,500 entrants, many of whom participated in corporate teams. Local residents and their canine companions came out in force to cheer on runners and walkers, many with sprinklers directed onto the street to help racers stay cool.
