Die Preisträger:
Bruce Springsteen – Humanitarian Award
A legend around the world and a regular guy on the streets of Asbury Park, Bruce Springsteen launched his career buoyed by the City’s music scene and has paid it tribute in songs ever since. As both an advocate and supporter of the City by the Sea, its residents and institutions, Bruce Springsteen is truly deserving of this Humanitarian recognition.
Taka Restaurant – Economic Development Award
Opened by owner Takahiro Hirai and his partners from Kessler’s Catering in 2005 before the Asbury Park restaurant scene truly was a scene, Taka is a delicious and serene oasis in downtown Asbury’s vibrant restaurant landscape and one of the first restaurants in the area to introduce modern Japanese-fusion cuisine.
Tyler Blackmore, Principal, Asbury Park High School – Spirit of Asbury Park Award
Principal Blackmore holds the highest standards for both his faculty and students and is credited with changing the culture at Asbury Park High School. Blackmore leads by example, from his involvement in student life, sports and the arts to his activism in the community, setting himself as a role model for Asbury’s leaders of tomorrow.
Frank’s Deli & Restaurant – Landmark Business Award
The “Cheer’s” of Asbury Park, Franks has been a local institution for nearly fifty years. The variety, heartiness and reasonable prices of Frank’s comfort food is exceeded only by the superb service and friendliness of its staff.
Kevin Keddy – Asbury Park Fire Chief – Public Office Award
Like every little boy, Chief Keddy wanted to be a firefighter when he grew up. In 1991, Keddy became a Probationary Firefighter with the City of Asbury Park Fire Department and held positions as Firefighter/EMT, Apparatus Chauffeur, Captain, and Battalion Chief.
