Orlando Josiah Memorial 5k

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Join us for the annual Memorial 5k Walk & Run in loving memory of Orlando Josiah Vargas. This event honors the life of our cherished son, who tragically passed away just before his 6th birthday. Orlando’s passion for sports and his joy in playing with friends continue to inspire us which is why we host this community 5k walk/run each year, including a fun run for kids. In his honor, we are raising funds to create a scholarship in Orlando Josiah’s name, benefiting a deserving graduate of the Horseheads School District. We invite you to come together with us to remember, celebrate, and support this special cause.
