Brentwood Firecracker 5k Race
30th Annual Brentwood Firecracker 5k Race
July 4, 2013
When former Mayor Ron Arnoni and Race Director Janice Boyko assumed the leadership in 1998, the tradition continued. Each year the race donates a sizeable contribution to the 4th of July Committee and a rotating charity (Special Olympics, American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, MS, and the Salvation Army, to name a few).
When Mayor Ken Lockhart came aboard, we continued to provide a first class event and distribute our proceeds. Our main benefactor remains the 4th of July Committee. Since 2007, the Disabled Veterans has become our designated charity. In addition, several local organizations and a Brentwood scholarship are awarded.
In 2012, financial support was given to the Brentwood Food Bank, Brentwood Park Initiative, Disabled American Veterans, 4th of July Committee, & Brentwood Centennial.
