Staff Sergeant Christopher Slutman was not only a loving husband, father, son and brother but he was also a FDNY Firefighter.

Sadly, while serving in the Marines, he was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

Chris was an avid runner with his wife Shannon. Join us in honoring this American HERO by running or walking in his honor.

All funds from the event will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation which supports the families of fallen or catastrophically injured military and first responders and the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation which is building a memorial to honor our heroes on the National Mall.

    Runners, walkers, and supporters from across New Castle County will come together on April 23, 2026, at Abessinio Stadium for the 13th Annual Lt. Joseph Szczerba Memorial 5K, a meaningful event honoring the life and legacy of a true Salesian Gentleman and community hero.

    The race was established in memory of Lieutenant Joseph Szczerba ’85, an 18-year veteran of the New Castle County Police Department and proud Salesianum alumnus, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 16, 2011. Founded by his widow, Kathy Szczerba, the event supports the Szczerba Memorial Scholarship, which provides educational assistance to the children of First Responders. Each step taken and mile completed helps continue Lt. Szczerba’s legacy of service, sacrifice, and commitment to others, with all proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund.

    What is the definition of a Patriot?

    According to Webster it is one who loves and supports his or her country.

    But we would like to add a little more to that definition. A Patriot is also someone who loves and supports his friends and family.

    That is who Chris Pepe was and what he will always be remembered as...A Patriot.

    Join us for our Annual 4.2 Miler in honor of Captain Christopher S. Pepe US Air Force.

    Chris was a huge supporter of Pat's Run in honor of Pat Tillman. Chris and his friends would go out to Arizona every year to run and support the great cause. We thought it was only appropriate to have a 4.2 Mile Run/Walk.

    Proceeds will benefit the Friends of Fusion Foundation, which will support organizations that Chris cared deeply about.
