The 15th Annual Memorial Wrobo 5K Run/Walk

The Junior Woman’s Club of Jefferson Township will hold its 15th Annual Memorial Wrobo 5K Run/ Walk on Sunday, October 7th at 9:00 am.
Each year the Memorial Wrobo Run is held in honor of 2nd Lt. John T. Wroblewski and raises funds for various community projects. Oak Ridge resident 2nd Lieutenant John Thomas (J.T.) Wroblewski succumbed to injuries sustained while battling in Ramadi, Iraq in April 2004. J.T. was a lieutenant in the U.S Marine Corps. He joined the Marines only days after the 9-11 attacks, determined to make a difference. He left behind his mom, dad, three younger brothers, his widow and many additional family members and friends.
This year all funds raised will benefit The Challenger League, which serves the special needs youth of Jefferson and surrounding towns. Athletes can participate in baseball, soccer basketball/gym activities while providing the necessary equipment for the athletes. Athletes that require special devices are able to participate in any or all sports, such as racing wheel chairs through the efforts of fundraising.
