2015 Sitrin’s Stars and Stripes Run and Walk to Support Our Nation’s HEROES

Additional Information

The Sitrin Health Care Center is proud to announce its 4th Annual Sitrin’s Stars and Stripes Run-Walk to support our nation’s heroes on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at SUNY POLY (Formerly SUNYIT) in Marcy, NY. This event is proudly sponsored by Adirondack Bank and features a 5K run, wheelchair race, and two-mile walk.

Sitrin invites everyone in the community to participate! Individuals, businesses, and community groups are also encouraged to form teams to walk or run in honor or in memory of a loved one who has answered the ultimate call of duty to serve and protect our freedom.

The entry fee for either the run or walk is $25 per person. Incentives will be available for those raising $125, $250, $500, or $1,000 or more. The first 400 individuals who turn in the $25 entry fee will receive a military-inspired commemorative dog tag. Registration is from 7:30am – 9:00am and a continental breakfast will be served in the Campus Center.

The day’s activities also include an adaptive sports symposium for wounded warriors, which will be held in the Campus Center. Instruction and hands-on training will be offered in the areas of wheelchair basketball, wheelchair road racing, wheelchair curling, and biathlon.

Proceeds from the Stars and Stripes Run~Walk benefit Sitrin’s Military Rehabilitation Program, which provides comprehensive care for service members and veterans who have post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, spinal cord injuries and other combat-related conditions. This program is funded solely by the generosity of the community and other donors. Sitrin does not receive any state or federal aid. Service members or veterans who choose to be treated at Sitrin do not pay anything for their care, not even a co-pay. This is one of the reasons why your participation is so important.

Thanks to your support of Sitrin’s Military Rehabilitation Program, veterans can begin the process of rebuilding their lives, reuniting with their families, and reentering their communities.
