Believe With Me, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing hope and help to families of
fallen soldiers, is thankful and honored to be able to hold our race,
The Freedom 4 Miler in Constitution Park and throughout the beautiful tree lined streets of the
Village of Tequesta this July 4th. In previous Town Council meetings and through several
conversations with citizens and council members alike, the idea of having this event "Village
Sponsored" has been recommended. In order for this to happen, it has been requested that a
detailed list of happenings in conjuncture with the event be given in advance: 1
1. Residents will be encouraged to decorate their yards in honor of Independence Day,
incentivized with a prize (likely a $300 gift certificate to a local gardening supply)
2. A Gold Star Motorcade (consisting of likely 3 cars) will tour the race route at 6pm July 3rd
to judge the winners for the yard competition as well as allowing Gold Star families to
preview the mile named in honor of their fallen loved one and corresponding signage about
their child. A VIP party will follow at a local restaurant to celebrate the lives and sacrifices
of these soldiers.
3. The Freedom 4 Miler Race Course will be lined with Flags. (July 3rd, early morning)
4. Each Mile will be marked and named in honor of a fallen soldier.
5. The fallen soldier's favorite song will be played at each mile.
6. Along the soldier's mile, their favorite food will be served, favorite candies passed out, and
other pertinent/personalized information the families share will be displayed in a meaningful
way.
7. Banners and signs about the race will be placed on all prominent placards and bridge posts
(date to be determined)
8. Residents will be notified of race times/pertinent information) with doorknockers July 2nd.
9. Residents and race participants will have the option to display "We support the Freedom 4
Miler" sign in yards and place of businesses.
10. "After -parry" event in Constitution Park directly following the race with music, awards
ceremony, and children's events including a Little Patriot's 1 mile race and Tiny Cadet 100
yard dash. Likely over by 1 Oam, broken down and cleaned up by noon.
11. Believe With Me is utilizing local businesses as much as possible for all necessities in hopes
to bring an economic bonus to the area.
