STOP for Nikhil 5K/1.5K Run/Walk

Join us and celebrate the life of Nikhil Badlani by participating in the first annual Stop for Nikhil Run/Walk. All proceeds go to the Nikhil Badlani Foundation to help children pursue their dreams in music and academics and to raise awareness for traffic safety.

Nikhil was an 11-year-old student at Edison Middle School. On June 11, 2011 he died in a tragic car accident at a local intersection where many people believe that the STOP sign is routinely ignored.  Nikhil excelled in academics, was a loyal scout and was passionate about his music.  He touched the hearts of everyone he met with his infectious smile and enthusiasm and brought joy into the lives of his friends and family.

Registration forms will be available at: WO Board of Edm WO Public Library, Town Hall or at www.stopfornikhil.org
