The Saratoga Springs Firefighters Cancer & Disability Foundation is proud to host its inaugural 5K run, presented by Harding & Mazotti LLP, in memory of Neil Emanatian. Neil, a dedicated career firefighter in the City of Saratoga Springs, continued to serve as a nurse at the VA Hospital after his retirement. Sadly, he succumbed to his illnesses, leaving behind his cherished family. Your participation in this 5K will help raise funds for active and retired Saratoga Springs firefighters facing job-related illnesses. We hope to see you there!
