Members of the Ocean City High School girls' soccer team lead the way as part of "Team Halliday" in the annual HERO Walk on the boardwalk Sunday in Ocean City, NJ.
Hundreds took advantage of a sparking fall day on Sunday to participate in the John R. Elliott 5K Hero Walk on the Ocean City Boardwalk.
Start of the HERO Walk at Sixth Street and Boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ.
The HERO campaign promotes the use of designated drivers, and the annual event raises tens of thousands of dollars toward the effort.
The HERO Campaign was organized 14 years ago by William and Muriel Elliott whose son, John, was tragically killed by a drunk driver.
Their program already has been adopted by several states, and the Elliott’s goal is to have every state in the country adopt life-saving, designated driver legislation. The fundraising goal for Sunday’s event was $100,000.
This year, the Hero Walk provided photo booths and frames on site so that participants taking the “Hero pledge” could post their photos on the Foundation’s Facebook page, Instagram and their own social media.
