Erik Hite Foundation 5K Fun Run and 2 Mile Family Fun Walk

2013 Erik Hite Foundation

5K Fun Run and 2 Mile Family Fun Walk

We participated in this event in Tucson the day before the Run to Remember in Phoenix.  There is nothing like getting in some extra exercise with an extended weekend.  And it was for another great cause.

Moreover, the EHF has been established to solicit and re-distribute funds and/or goods to assist with the funding and undertaking of programs and activities designed to strengthen the services, organization, performance, competence, professionalism and morale of the Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Departments, in the City of Tucson, Arizona, and its commissioned and non-commissioned members.

Special Thanks to Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller, if you wouldn't have stepped in to help us, we would have not raised this much!!
