MTPD Invites Community to Support PBA Local 124's 2nd Annual 9/11 Memorial 5K Run on Saturday, 9/10
|
|
|
|
|

Proceeds from the 5K will go to a scholarship fund created in memory of Middletown Township Police Department (MTPD) Detective Lieutenant Joseph Capriotti.

As a result of his response to Ground Zero, he developed cancer and lost his battle in June 2019. The memorial scholarship fund was created as a way to pay tribute to the tremendous impact he has made to the families of the victims and
to our community.
Registration is $40 for the 5K Run + Walk and $15 for the Kids' Race.Click HERE to register! |
