Remembering Chandler with joy, kindness, and community
This event brings students, families, alumni, and friends together for a morning of remembrance, fellowship, and shared support as we honor Chandler’s life in a warm and humble spirit.
About the Event
The Chandler Sackett Memorial 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run is a community event held in loving memory of Chandler. It is a time to gather, walk or run together, share stories, and support one another.
This event is meant to be welcoming and meaningful for students, families, and friends alike. It is not only a race, but also a chance to remember a life that continues to leave an impact on this community.
After the run, we invite everyone to stay for food, conversation, and fellowship as we continue to honor Chandler together.
Students, families, alumni, faculty, staff, community members, and friends are all warmly invited to join us.
