Disheartening News: Cancellation of Fight the Flames 5K
Dear Participants,
It is with heavy hearts that we must inform you of the cancellation of the much-anticipated Fight the Flames 5K event. Despite our best efforts and the incredible support from our community, we have not garnered enough participants to proceed with the race as planned.
We understand that this news may come as a disappointment, especially considering the admirable cause we were all rallying behind. The Fight the Flames 5K was not just a race; it was a symbol of our collective commitment to supporting the fire extinguisher program and ensuring the safety of our community by making sure everyone who needs a fire extinguisher in their home, could get one at no charge.
Over the past several months, we have witnessed the dedication and enthusiasm of each and every one of you who signed up for this event. Your willingness to lace up your running shoes and join us in this endeavor was truly inspiring. Unfortunately, despite our shared passion and efforts, we fell short of the necessary numbers to make the event viable.
We want to express our sincerest gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support and enthusiasm for the cause. Your willingness to participate meant the world to us, and it is deeply disheartening to have to make this decision.
We have an annual "Stop, Drop, & Run 5K" that is held every year. I also want to offer a $5.00 discount for registration on that race. We'd love to see you at this great event. Use the code FIGHTFLAMES5K when registering at STOP, DROP, RUN 5K (<<< click here).
We remain hopeful that in the future, we will have the opportunity to revive the Fight the Flames 5K and come together once again to make a meaningful difference in our community. Until then, let us hold onto the spirit of unity and support that brought us together in the first place.
Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. We truly appreciate each and every one of you.
With heartfelt regards,
Lt. Joshua Cromer
