The Jesse Pittman Fund honors the legacy of a local hero who died serving in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011.
All proceeds sponsor a college scholarship for Mendocino County high school students to pursue their passion for service.

This will be the final year of the 5K race, but the scholarship in Jesse's honor will continue. 

Join us to pay tribute to Jesse and meet this year's scholarship recipient!
