Technical Sergeant Dashan Briggs made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the 106th NYS Air National Guard unit as a Special Missions Aviator in Western Iraq on March 15, 2018 when his HH-60 Pavehawk helicopter crashed. The foundation was created to honor his legacy by supporting future generations and teaching them to succeed through perseverance, hard work, and dedication- all traits he embodied. 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 to future workshops and seminars to help teach our youth important life skills that they do not necessarily learn in school such as CPR/AED training, car maintenance, finances, and basic cooking classes, etc. This will be our second year that the Run for Briggs 5k Run will be held on Memorial Day Weekend, the kickoff to the Suffolk County Veterans Run Series. Please join us for Memorial Day Ceremonies directly after the run to honor all the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our great country. To honor these men and women, you will be running with the names of 4 service-members on your bib. ~ We Run For Those Who Cannot ~ Participant's will receive a custom race t-shirt!
