About the Race
2nd Annual Emily Oechsner Memorial Scholarship
5k Run/ Walk
Emily was a 16 year old Junior at Fort Zumwalt East High School when she made a poor decision to drive home from work Tuesday evening, October 24th without putting on her seatbelt. Emily was in a car accident 21 mph and less than 1 mile from her home that tragically ended her life, on October 26th, 2017. To honor her memory and raise awareness to ALWAYS wear your seatbelt, a memorial fund was created to provide college scholarships to Fort Zumwalt East Graduates. This previous year, 17 scholarships of $1000, were donated to students in Emily's graduating class. Our hope is to honor Emily's life by holding this event annually. All proceeds will benefit the Emily Oechsner Memorial Scholarship and provide scholarships for many years to come! Please join us in honoring Emily by running or walking with us on October 27th, in the 2ND ANNUAL Buckle Up to Love Up!
