Dad's Dash 5K Supports Sgt. Hrbek Scholarship [PHOTOS]

The second annual event included a tribute to the armed forces.

The second annual "Dad's Dash" was held in Westwood's Westvale Park Sunday.

The event raised money for the Sgt. Christopher Hrbek Scholarship Fund. Hrbek, a Marine, was killed in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan. The scholarship awards $2,500 in his memory to a graduating Westwood Jr./Sr. High School student "pursuing a career involving service to others" each year.

For more information about Sgt. Christopher Hrbek and the scholarship, visit the fund's website. Other events scheduled this year to aid the fund include a clayshoot in New Paltz, N.Y. August 23 and a Halloween party at the Knights of Columbus in Washington Township.
