The Press Conference will be held on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at the LISD Board Room-1620 Houston St.
The 5K Run will include a 1-mile Walk, and a Children’s Run to promote health awareness, safe teen driving, and responsible teen behavior in our community. Special announcements will be made concerning this event which will be named after Fernando A. Salinas for his philanthropy supporting Teens in the Driver Seat, a peer to peer education program, the arts, and human services. Monies raised will go towards awarding scholarships to qualifying high school seniors who participate in the 5K Run. Scholarships will be awarded in memory of Mercurio Martinez, IV., a local teen who lost his life in a traffic accident. The scholarships will be sponsored by the Fernando Salinas Charitable Trust and the Firefighters Association.
