The Gary Burns Memorial Scholarship Fund
When Frisco Assistant Fire Chief Gary Burns passed away in September of 1999, he left behind a community that will be forever touched by his dedication, compassion, energy and faith.
Our memory of the life and work of Gary Burns now continues through the Gary Burns Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Students of Frisco ISD have an opportunity to seek their highest potential through education with the help of funds raised through the Frisco Fun Run.
Gary Burns believed in the potential of our young people. Now we carry that dream and his memory lives on...still touching the lives of others. |
There will be something for everyone at the Frisco Fun Run. The 5K run will follow the 1 mile walk where strollers, children, leisure walkers and anyone who wants to participate will be welcomed (registration is required). There will be food and entertainment for all ages and plenty of fun for the kids (including the Frisco Fire Clowns)! Refreshment stations will be provided along the course. Food and fun will be waiting at the finish line. Local celebrities and dignitaries will be on hand to show their support of the Frisco Fun Run.
