LeRoy Homer, resident of Marlton, was the First Officer on United Flight 93 which tragically crashed in Shanksville, PA on Sept 11, 2001. The crew and passengers fought off terrorists and thwarted an attack against the US Capitol. The LeRoy Homer Foundation awards flight scholarships to young adults who wish to pursue careers in aviation. The proceeds from this 5K will benefit our aviation scholarship program to help create the next generation of pilots. Come out for a great run or walk while supporting a wonderful cause.
