The FRST Agency creation was first announced at the inaugural First Responders 5K summer of 2018, whereby YellowJacket Racing, founded this event in order to help form an organization whose mission is to support local First Responders with PTSD. Going forward, proceeds from this event will go directly to the FRST Agency. The First Responders 5K had been in the think tank of YellowJacket Racing/Fleet Feet Co-Owner, David Boutillier (Boots), for a few years. “I have watched my older brother play various roles for the last 40 years for the Webster Fire Department and seeing the toll it can take on these men and women. Recognizing there isn’t currently a support system for PTSD for all local First Responders seemed paramount for this event to create.” states Boutillier.
