The Veterans Law Student Association (VLSA) at Vermont Law School invites community members to join VLS students for the third annual 9/11 Memorial 5K Run/Walk at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8. The 5K will start on the South Royalton Green and finish on the VLS campus with a reception immediately following.
Event registration is $25 and covers the reception and a T-shirt. Any proceeds from the 5K will benefit the Teachout Book Fund for First-Year Veteran Law Students.
"The Veterans Law Student Association at Vermont Law School is committed to honoring the memories of those who lost their lives during the events of September 11, 2001," said Chris Whidden JD'18, VLSA president. "And we are committed to service and providing opportunities for veterans. Proceeds from this year's 5K will be donated to a book fund for first-year law students who have served in the military. We are naming the fund in honor of Professor Peter Teachout, a longtime supporter of veterans and our association."
