Never Back Down
Donation protected
It's a parents worst nightmare:the loss of a child:
On a quiet, cold Sunday morning on his way to basketball practice, Alex's car slid off the road resulting in a terrible car accident. Twenty-seven days later, Alex had passed away due to his severe injuries.
Alex was a 17-year-old junior at Sherwood High School. He was an outstanding scholar and athlete and was honored to be named as the captain of both his track and cross-country teams. Alex adopted the phrase "Never Back Down" to define his attitude towards life. He led by example as a competitive athlete and honor roll student. Although a great student-athlete, Alex was most proud of his accomplishments in his community, and his efforts to reach out and stand up for others was where he truly made a profound mark in life.
Quick with a warm smile and kind word, Alex made everyone feel special and better about themselves. He genuinely cared about the people in his life and made sure every teacher, coach, teammate, competitor and classmate knew they mattered and were valued. Alex's approach to life was a shining example of how one person could positively impact others by sharing his values: love, kindness, respect and compassion for all.
In keeping with Alex's memory and spirit, the Alex Popeck "Never Back Down" Foundation raises funds each year to benefit Montgomery County high school students.
At Northern Insurance Agencies, community is something we value. We are honored to support Mr. and Mrs. Popeck, and their non-profit organization, to raise money for students, to attend college, who exemplify Alex's attitude towards community and helping others.
The annual "Never Back Down" walk will take place Saturday, June 8th. All donations we raise will go directly to Alex's organization and towards college scholarships that will be awarded to selected seniors whose applications best embody Alex's qualities of caring, compassion, humility, honesty and his "Never Back Down" attitude.
