Get LBI Running Canceled, Donations for Fire Company Open

For the second consecutive year, the pandemic has prompted the cancellation of the Get LBI Running 5K event that benefits the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. and EMS.

“We made this decision in the best interest for the health and well-being of our participants,” event organizers said. “This event was a major fundraiser for the SCFD. As most fund raisers have been canceled, the SCFD has seen reduced revenues. These revenues provide for the equipment and supplies needed to respond to emergencies.”
