Lace up for our inaugural 5K race this October in Quakertown Borough! This rain-or-shine event welcomes all walkers and runners. After the race, connect with local fire departments to learn more about fire safety during Fire Prevention Month. It's a fantastic way to stay active, support a vital cause, and gain valuable knowledge to keep your home and family safe.

This event raises funds for the King Family Memorial Foundation, Inc. (KFMF). We established KFMF after a tragic house fire in Quakertown on Christmas morning 2021, which claimed the lives of Eric King and his children, Liam and Patrick.

Our mission is to support families who have lost loved ones or their homes to house fires. We also educate local children about fire safety and provide financial assistance to fire departments, honoring the legacy of Eric, Liam, and Patrick, and supporting Kristin and Brady. Your participation helps us make a real impact!
