Following the terror attack, the Billy DiMaio Foundation was created in his memory, and today works to support individuals, families and communities across the U.S. impacted by mass violence by helping provide care, resources and hope in the aftermath of tragedy.
Proceeds from the first annual Billy DiMaio 5K Run & Walk will go towards supporting the foundation.
"Billy was the very best of Holmdel, kind, driven, and deeply connected to this community," Mayor Rocco Impreveduto said.
"By gathering on the boulevard that bears his name, we aren't just running a race, we are ensuring that Billy’s spirit continues to protect and provide for families facing unthinkable circumstances,” he continued. “We invite everyone to join us in making this inaugural event a powerful success."
