Michael Sot Honored at Somerset Patriots Ballpark
On Friday, June 28, 2019, the Township of Clark gathered at the Somerset Patriots ballpark to honor one of their own, Michael Sot, a 20-year-old Clark resident who was killed in December.
Michael was the designated driver for his fraternity at the College of NJ when a drunk driver hit his car head on. Clark Police Det. Brian Soos and Recreation Director Ralph Bernardo came up with a fundraising event held at the stadium, to raise money in Michael’s name in order to purchase a “HERO” billboard to be displayed on a local highway in NJ. The Hero Program promotes the importance of designated drivers, encouraging drivers to be a ‘Hero’. The event sold 780 tickets and was well attended by many Clarkeites.
