DESCRIPTION
Jake’s Pack 5K Run-Walk is held in memory of Michael “Jake” Burkhardt, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident on January 25, 2016.  Jake was active young man who enjoyed hiking, campfires, listening to music and spending time with his friends.  Jake will be remembered as a kind and happy person with a great smile.  He always knew when someone needed help and was always there to help.  The race was started by Jake’s family and friends as a way to keep Jake’s memory alive by supporting what was important to him.  Proceeds will be used to support the Michael “Jake” Burkhardt Memorial Student Leadership Fund which supports scholarships for high school students looking to pursue degrees in science and environmental studies.
