SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - On Saturday, July 29, East Lawn hosted its 10th Annual Fab 40’s 5k Run/Walk benefitting the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern California. A total of $250,000 in proceeds has been raised over 10 Years. The Fab 40’s 5K Run/Walk will officially started at 8:30 a.m. inside the 112-year-old his- toric East Lawn Cemetery. This is the official annual City of Sacramento 5k Championship certified course, The course runs through the Fabulous Forties neighborhood with neighbors lin- ing the streets cheering on the runners and walkers before they reach the finish line back at East Lawn. Over 1,400 excited partic- ipants signed up to enter the race. All ages and athletic abilities entered to help end Alzheimer’s disease, which is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and the 5th in California. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of this event, all participants received a com- memorative finisher’s medal. (All photos taken by Paul Scholl) The day included family ori- ented activities like kids bounce house, balloon animals, face painting, photo booth, music, food, awards ceremony, raffle drawings and much more. The event was hosted by Alan Fisher, President of East Lawn and Michelle Johnson, Regional Director of the Alzheimer’s Association. A special “Thank You” goes out to Sal Arrigo, who started the event and was the catalyst in build- ing the program that has raised all the funds for research. Sal served as the official race starter. East Lawn Memorial Park is located at 4300 Folsom Boulevard in Sacramento. For more information about the Fab 40’s 5k Run/Walk visit: http:// fab40s5k.org/. H SMOKEY OAKS TAVERN
