CCSO, Community Lace Up Their Sneakers For Annual Fun Run/Ride

Nearly 2,000 people turned out for the second annual 5K fun run/bicycle ride and safety fair hosted by the Collier County Sheriff's Office and its Golden Gate Road Patrol on May 25. The nighttime event took place at the Golden Gate Community Center, where participants laced up their sneakers or hopped on their bikes to run/ride through the streets of Golden Gate. Proceeds benefitted Grace Place, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching literacy, language and life skills to at-risk children and impoverished families. The fun run/ride featured a ceremony honoring fallen law enforcement officers and a special thanks to all those who serve the country to commemorate the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
