From the Race Organizer
Join us April 26th to honor Dash Barton at the second annual Dash Barton Buffalo Run. The run will be followed by live entertainment and silent auction at Brock's Gap Brewery. The Dash Barton Buffalo Run is a fundraising event aimed at supporting the Dash Barton Memorial Scholarship Fund. Each year, two scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors from Hoover High School: one to a student in the Junior ROTC program and another to a member of the Hoover Baseball Team. Dash was an outstanding student with a servant’s heart, deeply passionate about both politics and the military. Through these scholarships, we aim to honor his memory by supporting students who embody similar qualities.
