5k RUN/WALK FOR COMPLETION

Join us as we lace up for a cause that hits close to home. In memory of Detective Robert "Bobby" Sivori, we're rallying the community for a run/walk that gives back to the families of first responders lost to the battle they fought in silence. Bobby, a hero in his own right, served the NYPD with valor and his loss reminds us of the hidden struggles these brave souls endure. This event isn't just about remembrance, it's about making a difference, step by step. Let's circle Brookfield Park twice for this noble cause—your strides make a world of difference. Check-in starts bright and early at 8am, with the run/walk taking off at 9am. Together, we run with purpose. Together, we walk for hope.
