This is the 10th year Beth and I have been asked to round up Jeeps to help with Rocky's Run for Freedom. This is a 5k run/fundraiser organized by Gold Star Family: Nicole, Paul and Nanette Zanowick in memory of their brother/son Marine Corporal Paul "Rocky" Zanowick II, who was killed June 3, 2011 in Afghanistan.
In the past, we have provided over 30 Jeeps to block the streets and re-direct traffic away from the course. This event always has a lot of active and retired military participants. We cheer for them along their way too! Everyone always has a great time! Please consider helping. You will be finished by 11am so you still have your Saturday for other things.
The event is Saturday May 23rd in Miamisburg. The run begins at 9am, so we will be meeting at the Burger King on St RT 725 at 6:45 and leaving at 7:10. We would like to have at least 35 Jeeps, but will take all that want to participate to help block streets and alleys along the route. We will start blocking the streets at 7:30 am. (Same course as in the past.)
This is a very patriotic event so if you have flags or decorations please display them on your Jeep. Also, you may want to bring a chair.
We are looking for at least 35 Jeeps. Please sign up below with a number!
This is Memorial Day weekend. If you have a radio bring it so we can communicate.
David and Beth Hayes, along with the Zanowick family, thank you for your participation.
