Congrats Brandon-we are so proud of you!!! 🏅

Congratulations to Brandon Mora Morales, an RWJUH Somerset volunteer, on an incredible achievement! 🥈⚽

Last week, Brandon represented Special Olympics New Jersey at the Special Olympics USA games in Minnesota, where his soccer team earned the silver medal, finishing in second place. Brandon, who has played on the NJ team for the past year, scored his first-ever goal as a striker during the tournament, helping Team New Jersey earn a point. He has also competed in Special Olympics basketball and track & field.

Brandon’s commitment to serving others is just as inspiring. A dedicated volunteer at RWJUH Somerset for more than 7½ years, he has contributed 1,910 volunteer hours and currently serves as a Lobby Ambassador. Brandon says his favorite part of volunteering is helping provide the best possible care and experience for our patients and their families.

Congratulations, Brandon, on your outstanding accomplishments both on and off the field! 👏
