Organiser's Description
Join us for the annual Memorial 5k walk and run in memory of Orlando Josiah Vargas. The Memorial 5k walk and run aims to honor the memory of our dear son, Orlando Josiah Vargas, who very unexpectedly passed away on the eve of his 6th birthday. He had a love for sports and playing with friends which is why our family has decided to honor him each year with a 5k walk/run for those in the community, including a fun run for kids. Our family has found inspiration in raising funds to establish a scholarship in the name of Orlando Josiah for a deserving future graduate of the Horseheads school district.
