Purpose and beneficiary
The event is held in honor of a Newtown Borough police officer who lost his life in the line of duty in 2005. The officer is commemorated locally through a memorial park and a named bypass section.
Proceeds from the race will benefit the Bucks County Heroes Scholarship Fund. That fund provides educational scholarships to children of local first responders who have been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The race description notes that the officer’s son was a past recipient of the scholarship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
