I DID THE GRID
DID YOU?

On Saturday, May 28th, the 4th annual Cpl Christopher G. Scherer “I Did the Grid” 4 Mile Competitive Run, 1 Mile Fun Run, and 4 Mile Recreational Run/Walk will be taking place on the streets of East Northport.

On July 21, 2007, Christopher Scherer, a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps, lost his life while serving our Country in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq. He was born and raised in East Northport and grew up playing in the neighborhood he fondly referred to as “the Grid.” On the first day of Memorial Day Weekend participants of all ages can experience four miles of the grid streets of East Northport while running, jogging or walking from the starting and ending location of Pulaski Road School.

On this morning of the race we ask that you promise not to forget, nor let your children or their children forget that Chris and his fellow warriors died so that we might live free. To honor Chris and all of the men and women who have given their lives in service to the United States of America we ask that you give up any personal awards for this day. Instead each race bib will have the printed name of a fallen hero from either Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. Each participant will carry that name and upon completion of the course will ring a bell to signify that the Airman, Coast Guardsman, Sailor, Soldier or Marine named on the bib will be remembered for making the ultimate sacrifice.

This fundraising event allows us to provide scholarships and support active servicemen and women as well as our local veterans.

To participate, register above. To find out more about helping us fundraise, click on the “What We Do” link above and then “Fundraising.”

Semper Fi.
