Back to all events
About
Dashan J. Briggs Memorial Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2021 by his spouse and family. 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.
It is with mixed emotions that we announce that the 5th Annual Run for Briggs 5K, that will be held Memorial Day weekend, will be our final event. After years of incredible support and participation, we have decided to close this chapter.
While we are sad to say goodbye to this beloved event, please know that this does not mark the end of our foundation. We remain committed to supporting our community and will continue to carry out our mission to honor Dashan through new and meaningful ways.
We invite you to join us one last time this Memorial Day weekend to run, walk, and celebrate the spirit of Dashan and our community. We can’t wait to see you there.
Thank you for your unwavering support. Here’s to one more unforgettable race!
