Welcome

The SGT Sam Nutter Organization, INC. (SSNO) is a registered non-profit organization administered by the Officer Candidate School of the New Jersey Army National Guard. The SSNO was established in the memory of Sergeant Sam Nutter.

OUR MISSION: The SGT Sam Nutter Organization was created with the purpose of raising funds in order to benefit National Guard families in need. Each year, the proceeds of the organization are donated to an Army National Guard beneficiary

SGT Sam Nutter

The original SGT Nutter Run of 2005 was held in loving memory of SGT Samuel Nutter (28 Jan 1966 - 02 Jan 2005). SGT Nutter served on active duty in the US Navy and in the New Jersey Army National Guard. His selfless service was a great credit to the community and to the military. SGT Nutter had answered the call of duty after September 11 and was an Officer Candidate at the 254th Combat Arms Regiment. He was diagnosed with cancer during his commissioning process, but continued to serve in the NJARNG with the terminal illness. SGT Nutter passed away on 02 Jan 2005, shortly before graduation. SGT Nutter is deeply missed by all of us and the Nutter Run event was born as our way of saluting a fallen comrade and to show our support to his family during those hard times.

 This Year's Beneficiaries

2LT John Stadelman served in the New Jersey Army National Guard, and was a graduate of OCS Class #47.  He was an investigative detective for the Office of Homeland Security and was assigned to the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark, New Jersey.  Prior to working for Homeland Security, 2LT Stadelman worked for the Bridgewater Police Department.  Unfortunately, 2LT Stadelman lost his fight with cancer on July 9, 2009.  Only a few months later, 2LT Stadelman's wife Elena gave birth to their twins.

OCS Class #53 and the administrators of the SGT Sam Nutter Run organization, are proud to name the Stadelman twins as the 2010 Nutter Run beneficiaries.  We look forward to running a successful event, and securing as many donations as possible for the Stadelman Family.
