Dennis P. McHugh Foundation Family Fair, 5K
It was the 10th annual 5K Run, Walk and Family Fair in Piermont.
The Dennis P. McHugh Foundation hosted its 10th annual 5K Run/Walk and Family Fair Saturday at Flywheel Park in Piermont.
The event raised money for Homes For Heroes, which is a non-profit that helps veterans find housing. In Rockland, the non-profit is in the process of building homes for veterans on Camp Shanks in Orangetown.
Saturday’s event featured a 5K run/walk in the morning, followed by a run for children. The Family Fair featured bounce houses, games and plenty of food.
Dennis P. McHugh, formerly of Blauvelt, was an FDNY firefighter who died in the attacks on September 11, 2001. The foundation was started by family members to honor McHugh’s memory, and each year the run and fair raise funds for various other non-profits in the county.
