This petition is going to friends, family, and associates of John Taddeo, whom after reading the requirements of this award/membership, believe that he undoubtedly deserves to be nominated and chosen for the 2019 Horatio Alger Award and Membership.
Lifetime membership in the Horatio Alger Association is conferred on 10-12 individuals each year with the presentation of the Horatio Alger Award. The Award symbolizes the Association’s values, including personal initiative and perseverance, leadership and commitment to excellence, belief in the free-enterprise system and the importance of higher education, community service, and the vision and determination to achieve a better future.
Each year, the Horatio Alger Association seeks to recognize and celebrate individuals whose lives and actions demonstrate outstanding character, a commitment to helping others, and the power of the human spirit. Recipients of the Horatio Alger Award are inducted as lifelong Members of the Association.
Each Member has overcome adversities and achieved success through hard work, determination, and integrity. The Association’s proud traditions and efforts to assist others are perpetuated with the induction of each new class of Members.
Horatio Alger Members serve as role models for youth by demonstrating the possibilities that exist through free enterprise. They also support need-based scholarships and educational programs and services to enable young people to pursue their dreams through higher education.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA To be considered for the Horatio Alger Award or the International Horatio Alger Award, nominees must demonstrate a commitment to the goals of the Horatio Alger Association and the purpose for which it was founded by meeting the following eligibility criteria:
1. U.S. citizenship status (not applicable for the International Horatio Alger Award).

3. Achievement of outstanding professional accomplishments through individual initiative, self-reliance, hard work, commitment to excellence, enthusiasm, integrity, and perseverance.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum behind this nomination. It is entirely because of your belief in John that people are finally taking notice.

I have personally known John Taddeo for more than 15 years and would highly recommend John for this award. John meets and exceeds the qualifications listed because he has (1) hurdled numerous emotional and physical challenges, (2) has too many professional accomplishments to list but most recently he completed law school and started his own law practice, (3) is very philanthropic in assisting others through charitable events (generously donating both his time and money) and (4) is the definition of free-enterprise by being the ultimate entrepreneur over and over again. Also, John generously mentors and encourages younger people (my daughter and son included) to pursue their dreams through higher education and hard work because he lives by that example.
John Taddeo is a great person and even better friend. My husband and I think so highly of him that we asked him to officiate our wedding. He is truly a remarkable person and very well deserving of this award.
John Taddeo is truly deserving of this award. He has a unique and innovative mind that sometimes takes him on roads less often traveled by others but brings him to greater achievement. He has tried and failed but always finds a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps and succeed! His success is a model for everyone who believes in themselves and remains optimistic about their future.
John is one of those people you can count on to always be there as a friend, colleague, and mentor. He deserves to be recognized for all that he does not only as an attorney but as person.
Mr. Taddeo is the definition of triumph over adversity as he overcame financial, medical, and familial troubles. His life story is a true inspiration for greatness.
I have had the pleasure of knowing John Taddeo for over 18 years and I can truly say he exemplifies the character of a Horatio Alger member. Despite the many obstacles that life has thrown his way, he has always strived to overcome these situations with a better attitude and outlook on life while learning these "life lessons". His continuous dedication to creating a better life for anyone he may meet is a testament to his character. John also has a love for animals and puts all his heart into his rescue dogs. John truly is a giving and caring person. John has been a personal inspiration to me and my family as we only hope to overcome and accomplish all that he has. He has counseled myself and daughter several times about continuing our education and because of watching him succeed with great determination, I am planning to attend law school and my daughter has planned to attend medical school after she completes her bachelor's degree in 2019. Everyone who meets John is a better person just because they know him. We look forward to seeing all the good things John will continue to accomplish in the future.
John Taddeo is synonymous with what the award is all about .,..hope he wins
