Look for PLR all fall at local fairs & festivals. Below is a list of where we’ll be at this 99.1 PLR Awesome Autumn:
Victoria Soto was a passionate teacher who tragically lost her life protecting her students at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. In her honor, the Vicki Soto Memorial Fund, Inc. was created, which is supported annually by the Vicki Soto 5k. This event has taken place through the picturesque Lordship section of Stratford, CT Vicki’s hometown. This year the race is back in Bridgeport!
The 13th Annual Vicki Soto 5K is a family-friendly walk/run that will take place on Saturday November 1st at Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport.
On race day, all who join can expect a well-organized and inspiring event. The event includes a 5K run/walk on a USATF-certified race route that will take participants from the amphitheater through Seaside Park, with picturesque views of the Long Island Sound.
The post-race celebration features music, food & refreshments and family-friendly activities for all participants and spectators who purchase a wristband. The atmosphere will be one of positivity and encouragement, with volunteers and supporters cheering on the participants every step of the way.
It’s important to highlight that all proceeds from the event go directly to the Vicki Soto Memorial Foundation. This 5013c nonprofit supports educational initiatives, scholarships for future educators, and community outreach. By participating in the 5k, runners and walkers make a meaningful contribution to these important causes and show their support for the local community.
