We’re excited to announce the 2026 SSgt Jason Hicks Memorial 5k. This race is in its 14th year. All proceeds benefit the SSgt. Jason Hicks Memorial Scholarship Fund. Jason and five other US Air Force Combat Search and Rescue airmen were killed in action while on a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan in 2003 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Since then, the Scholarship has been awarded annually to a graduating senior from Central High School in Pageland, SC, which was Jason’s alma mater.
Any Central High School graduating senior may apply for the Scholarship. Applicants should demonstrate leadership abilities and community service. A Scholarship application for the current school year can be printed by clicking the application link on this site.
We would like to thank everyone for their generous contributions to the Scholarship Fund. Your contributions help ensure that the Scholarship, as well as Jason's name, lives on. You may continue to contribute to the Fund by mailing your tax-deductible donation to SSgt Jason Hicks Memorial Scholarship Fund, 19573 Angelus Road, Jefferson, SC 29718.
This race offers a great course, but it is much more than a race. It is a community event with festivities for the whole family. For more information, visit www.JasonHicksMemorial.com.
