Harrisburg, PA) – On Saturday, May 12, 2018, Pennsylvanians will be honoring and remembering those who have senselessly lost their lives at the hands of impaired drivers by participating in the 15th Annual DUI Victim’s Memorial 10K Run/ 1Mile Walk sponsored by the PA DUI Association. The on-site registration starts promptly at 8 AM. After the event, bricks engraved with DUI victims’ names will be placed in the DUI Victims Memorial Garden at 2413 North Front Street. Over 2,000 victim names are already memorialized in the garden.
An awards ceremony will be held following the Run/Walk event. Partial proceeds from this event will allow for additional DUI Victim bricks to be purchased and for upkeep of the Pennsylvania DUI Victims Memorial Garden.
The Pennsylvania DUI Victims Memorial Garden was dedicated on October 2, 2003, and it is Pennsylvania’s first statewide DUI Victims Memorial Park. As the name implies, this Garden honors and remembers the countless Pennsylvanians who are needlessly killed every year in drunk driving crashes. The garden incorporates bricks, pavers, benches, trees, shrubs and an abundance of flowering plants to create a beautiful and serene setting. Currently, the Garden contains over 2,000 bricks engraved with DUI Victims’ names, with additional 60 bricks being added during Saturday’s Run/Walk.
