RAHWAY, NJ — TAPinto Rahway previously announced that seven Rahway residents were recipients of the prestigious Union County SHERO Award. This award, under the theme “Union County Women Who Are Making History,” aims to recognize and honor extraordinary women within our community who embody the values of diversity, equity and inclusion while driving positive change.
Today, we spotlight winner Ms. Danni Newbury , nominated by Mayor Raymond Giacobbe.
In submitting his nomination, Mayor Giacobbe said the following:
"Danni Newbury embodies dedication and impact, tirelessly championing Rahway’s causes and advocating for vulnerable populations. With a master’s degree from Drexel University, she brings academic prowess to her role as a dedicated advocate for Rahway.

"Beyond her professional qualifications, Danni’s personal journey underscores her dedication to inclusivity and representation. As a former foster youth, Danni brings firsthand experience and empathy to her advocacy efforts for children in foster care, drawing from her own resilience in overcoming childhood adversity, including poverty and domestic violence.
