From the Organizer
Join us for the annual Memorial 5k Walk & Run in loving memory of Orlando Josiah Vargas. This event honors the life of our cherished son, who passed away just before his 6th birthday. Each year, our community comes together for this 5k walk/run to celebrate Orlando’s love of sports and the joy he shared with his friends. In his honor, we are raising funds to create a scholarship in Orlando Josiah’s name, benefiting a deserving graduate of the Horseheads School District. We invite you to run or walk with us as we remember and honor the life of our son.
