9th Annual Summer Smith 5k Addiction Awareness Memorial Run

Sat May 3, 2025 Guilderland Center, NY 12085 US Directions

9th Annual Summer Smith 5k Addiction Awareness Memorial Run

Our intention is to provide education and awareness regarding the disease of addiction to the public through this event. If one person is saved, or one conversation is started between a parent and a child, then our goal will have been reached.

Proceeds from this year's run will be utilized to support the creation of the ZSL Tapestry of Love 501c3 not for profit, in honor of Summer Leigh Smith and Zachary Morrissey. The mission will be reducing the stigma surrounding substance use disorder through education, awareness and prevention activities.

Additionally, proceeds are used to support a $750 Scholarship in Summer's memory given to a selected senior at Guilderland High School who is planning to attend college and major in a career in human or health services, as well as the Dawn Viti Memorial Rescue Dog $ 1000 Donation to help a dog with special needs or a dog rescue organization.

 

Proceeds from this year's run will be utilized to create a short documentary regarding the Summer Smith Addiction Awareness Memorial Run and the positive impact it has had on the community, while serving as an inspiration for many who have experienced a similar loss and to share the hope of recovery. Additionally, proceeds are used to support a $750 Scholarship in Summer's Memory given to a selected Senior at Guilderland High School who is planning to attend college and major in a career in human or health services as well as the Dawn Viti Memorial Rescue Dog $ 1000 Donation to help a dog with special needs or a dog rescue organization.
