Officer Shawn Silvera Memorial Run

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Sucker Lake Regional Park, Vadnais Heights

On Saturday, August 23, 2008, the Third Annual Shawn Silvera Memorial Run will take place at Sucker Lake Regional Park, Vadnais Heights. With a variety of activities for families and races for all ages, this event will celebrate life and family. .

This run is to commemorate Lino Lakes Police Officer Shawn Silvera, who was killed in the line of duty on September 6, 2005, leaving behind a wife and two young children.

Shawn was charitable, living his short life of 32 years in service to others with integrity, devotion, character, compassion and strength. He embodied the powerful message carried by the words "BE HERE NOW - LIVE THE IMPORTANCE OF TODAY" - savoring daily moments, relishing opportunities to learn and appreciating his gift to help someone in need. It is for these reasons that we honor Shawn with this event and look to his example to continue the care for his family.

All proceeds from this event will benefit the Shawn Silvera Memorial Fund and charities selected by Officer Silvera's family.
