Join The Motorcycling Community For The 24th Annual Sarah Renee Phillips Memorial Run On August 10th
It’s here again, for it’s 24th year: The Sarah Renee Phillips ANNIVERSARY MOTORCYCLE RUN!. On April 6th 2000, The Phillip’s Family’s 13-year-old daughter Sarah was tragically murdered in her home right after coming home from school. She was an 8th grade student at Vaca Pena Middle School and would have gone on to Will C. Wood High School. To keep Sarah’s memory alive at Will C. Wood, they have created a scholarship fund in her name, specifically for deserving students where she would have graduated. For the past 20 years, local motorcycle riders have come together to remember Sarah with an “Annual Sarah Renee Phillips Memorial Run”. Over the last 23 years, through generous support of riders, friends, and local merchants, nearly $85,000 dollars has been raised and given to deserving graduates so far. With this money, The Phillips Family has established the “Sarah Renee Phillips Memorial Scholarship Fund.” Scholarships awarded from this fund go to students who have overcome personal hardships or obstacles to successfully graduate from Will C. Wood High School.
