Samuel F Pearson Memorial Day Event

The Samuel F Pearson Memorial Day Event is held to honor Sam Pearson, an Army soldier from Piqua who sacrificed his life in service. Proceeds support the Piqua Education Foundation by funding scholarships for Piqua High School seniors. This initiative has successfully increased scholarship numbers annually. The event includes a 5k Run/Walk, with registration fees contributing to the Samuel F Pearson Scholarship Fund. Participants can register online or in-person, and the event takes place on a scenic route along the Miami River in Piqua.
