5th ANNUAL FORWARD 4 WEST FAMILY FUN RUN/WALK, SPAGHETTI DINNER & FIREWORKS!

We have organized this event to celebrate West Frescura. West passed away on July 1, 2012 at age 11 while playing on a water trampoline at a friend’s home on Marl Lake. He was an amazing young man who was destined to touch many lives. West never met a stranger. He was a kind, caring boy who loved his family, friends and community. He was proud to be a member of the Linden Family. The Forward 4 West Family Fun Run/Walk and Fireworks is an annual fundraiser which will take place on August 19, 2017 at Hyatt Elementary in Linden, in honor of what would have been West’s 17th Birthday. All funds raised will stay local and be given back to the students in the area. Our hope is that West will continue to touch lives and make a difference. Beginning in 2014, the funds raised have allowed us to proudly award a scholarship to a student that has experienced struggles in school similar to West. West had a great love for reading, but it was challenged every time he picked up a book. We also created the West Frescura sections of the libraries in all of Linden Schools, which we continue to expand. Last year we added a spaghetti dinner, which was a delicious success. This year we are pleased to announce our fun, family oriented event will include a 2-mile Family Fun Run/Walk, Spaghetti Dinner and Fireworks.
