Todd M. Beamer Memorial Scholarship
Todd M. Beamer, a resident of Cranbury, gave his life on 9-11-01 leading other passengers in overpowering the hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93. Mr. Beamer's actions caused the Boeing 757 to crash in Pennsylvania, foiling the hijacker's plan of flying the aircraft into an unknown Washington, DC target. This ultimate unselfish act no doubt saved hundreds of lives, at his cost. A scholarship, administered by the Cranbury Lions, has been established in his name.
