The 2nd annual Lite the Knight will be held on Saturday Aug. 16 at Hartwood Park. It begins at 5 p.m.
This year's recipient is the Bordonaro family. Frank was a 19-year veteran of the Genesee County Sherriff’s Dept, a devoted husband and father, and a true pillar of the LeRoy community who died in July. He will be sorely missed. At only 44 years of age, he leaves behind his wife, Robyn, and two sons Bryce, 14, and Chase, 12.
We ask the community to rally to support them through this event. All proceeds of the 2014 Lite the Knight 5K will be donated to the family.
Cost for participation in the 5K is $25 per individual, plus a $3.10 processing fee. Cost for a team member is $20, plus a $2.80 processing fee.
More information about Lite the Knight is available at www.villagefit.com, or visit our Facebook page. In addition to the 5K run/walk on an illuminated course, this year’s event also features a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, wellness fair, many free childrens' activities, a performance by LeRoy Marching Knights, a chicken barbeque by the Eagle BBQ and Brew, and free live music by Flipside.
The LeRoy, Stafford, Caledonia, and Pavilion Fire Departments have volunteered their time and assistance in support of the event, and will be setting up an interactive display of their fire engines for children and families to experience.
