At left is one of the commemoratives I designed for a run to be called the Freedom Reigns Memorial VIP 5K. Click image to enlarge. This certificate is the one that participants who do not win an overall or age group award can download and fill in on screen. All participants can have a race commemorative.

If you would like to stage a run to raise funds for the memorial, I would like you to consider using this special commemorative as the award. The design will remain the same, instilling uniformity in the event(s). Featuring one of our designer certificate awards, the T-shirt, and the cause in your advertising, race brochures, and on your Web site could be a very productive combination for attracting new runners and promoting this honor for our fallen heroes. I would be happy to supply whatever graphics you might need. Click on the T-shirt image for enlargement. Please review my running award site, Your Running Memories, for more details on the certificates. There is also a link to a Freedom Reigns Memorial VIP 5K survey that describes the race and awards in greater detail.

I would like to see a national Freedom Reigns Memorial VIP 5K series, like the coordinated Stroh's Run for Liberty held in 120 cities in the mid 80's. If you are a race coordinator, or know one, who could handle such an undertaking, please contact me.
