Savannah Memorial 5K
The Savannah Memorial 5K is an annual community run and walk held in memory of Savannah. The event raises funds to support survivors of domestic violence and to fund the Savannah Memorial Scholarship, which helps children attend camp.
Organizers partner with local groups that provide shelter and services to survivors and with a church summer camp that Savannah attended. The event includes community fundraising activities and aims to increase awareness of domestic violence and the resources available to victims.
The race takes place on Sunday, October 25th at Forest Park East Cemetery in Webster, TX. The program for the day includes a costume contest; costumes are encouraged but not required, and prizes will be awarded for best dressed person and best dressed dog.
Materials on the event describe a focus on remembrance, healing, and providing practical support. The stated vision emphasizes giving victims information about available resources, reducing judgement, and encouraging youth to grow in their faith. The 5K is presented as a way for community members to show support and to raise funds for shelter services and the scholarship fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
