Run For Briggs
2024 is the 4th year for the Run for Briggs 5k run and a 1-mile Kid’s Fun Run, which is part of the Suffolk County Veterans Run Series . Our run will kick off the series on Memorial Day weekend on May 26th, 2024.
All proceeds from this event will go to the Dashan J. Briggs Memorial Foundation that awards Scholarships to students in Riverhead and Comsewogue High School, and future workshops and seminars to help teach our youth important life skills that are not necessarily taught in schools such as CPR/AED training, car maintenance, finances, and basic cooking classes, etc.
Dashan left two children behind; eight-year-old, Jayden and seven-year-old, Ava. Since the age of four Dashan’s son, Jayden has completed six 5k’s including last years Run for Briggs and completed it in 30 minutes flat! Dashan’s daughter, Ava has completed three 1 mile runs and four 5k’s since the age of 3.
To help keep Jayden and Ava’s memory of their father alive, we ask all to come out and participate in our Annual Memorial Day Run, Run for Briggs on May 26th 2024!
