The "Color Me Cameron" 2nd Annual 5K Run/Walk COLOR PALOOZA!  

The "Color Me Cameron" 2nd Annual 5K Run/Walk is the main fundraiser for The Cameron Fitzwater Memorial Scholarship.  The scholarship was established in 2012 in memory of Cameron Fitzwater, a senior at Pulaski County High School who died tragically in a single car accident on his way to work after school; just two months shy of graduation. Cameron lived and loved life to its fullest. He was Captain of the Wrestling Team, Captain of the Math MACC Academic Team, participated in Track, Drama, Choir, Young Life and Boy Scouts where he was an accomplished Eagle Scout. In addition to attending Pulaski County High School, he also attended the Southwest Virginia Governor's School for Math and Science. Cameron's true love was the outdoors. In his free time you could find him kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, hunting or camping. He is known for his signature smile and his bear hugs to all that entered in his path.
 
The scholarship awards 4 $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors who are accepted in a 2 year or 4 year College/University or a Technical School.  The scholarship funds are housed and maintained at Pulaski County High School where Cameron attended. A committee of administrators, teachers and staff review all applicants and decide which 4 students will receive the scholarship. The scholarship has awarded $8,000 to date.

This is not a timed 5K.  It is purely a celebration of life.

Aside Oceans will be performing throughout the run/walk and after while door prizes are handed out.  (Remember to keep your red ticket given to you at registration.)
