Since its establishment in 2017, the Garfield Ridge Stars and Stripes 5K Run has been committed to honoring and commemorating the courageous men and women who serve as first responders, particularly those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Our mission is to recognize their steadfast dedication and service to both our city and nation. This event seeks to raise funds for distinguished non-profit organizations that provide essential support services to individuals facing traumatic circumstances. In past years, we have been privileged to support the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project, the 100 Club of Chicago, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. To sustain this vital work, we respectfully request your consideration of a donation. Your generous contribution will directly benefit these esteemed organizations and aid us in achieving our goal of creating a meaningful impact.

In 2025, the event will specifically pay tribute to three fallen members of the Chicago Police Department who gave their lives in service to the city of Chicago: Officer Andrés Vásquez-Lasso, Officer Luis M. Huesca, and Officer Enrique Martinez. We believe that service to our city is a profound honor, deserving of recognition and celebration throughout our communities.
