Organiser's description

The date is set for the 15th annual Colton's Main Street Run. The Run is held in memory of Colton Sherrill, son of Trace and Dena Sherrill. The 10-year old athlete and Durant Main Street volunteer passed away 16 years ago while playing basketball from an unknown heart defect.

The proceeds will be used to provide education in Cardio Pulmonary resuscitation and use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED's), to provide emergency equipment, including but not limited to AEDs, for use by schools and communities, to fund higher education scholarships, and community projects. To date the proceeds have benefited our community as follows:

* 165 AEDs purchased for area schools and the community-provided training and yearly supplies for schools.
* Donated 415 Stop the Bleed Kits to area schools.
Donated 74 LifeVac Choking Rescue Devices to area schools.
* Purchased bleachers for Colton's Field and player benches for other soccer fields at Durant Sports Complex. In 2022, we purchased 2 new soccer goals and nets.
* Donated $25,000 to county schools to purchase PPE.
* Helped purchase Lucas 2 Chest Compression System with Bryan County EMS.
* Endowed Colton Sherrill Memorial Scholarship Fund at Southeastern Oklahoma State University providing 44 scholarships to area students
* Created the Crooked Smile Trail in partnership with Southeastern Oklahoma State University for local cross-country teams and the public. In 2024, we donated $10,000 for the bridge project.
* 2 - ADA Wheelchair Swing Sets at Durant City Parks
* Durant Main Street Revitalization Impact - 92,110 volunteer hours and $25 Million reinvested in Durant Main Street and Pocket Park Project
* We are holding quarterly CPR and AED classes in partnership with Bryan County EMS.

In 2023, we provided $102,000 in grants and community support to fund health and safety projects in Oklahoma.
