A Word about Julie King

support from local businesses and community
volunteers. They are pleased to have the opportunity to
continue this special event, and to direct proceeds to
three beneficiaries this year-The Julie King Memorial
Scholarship Fund at Fairview High School, Erie
Runners Club Scholarship Fund and the YMCA of
Greater Erie.
Julie was a 1991 graduate of Fairview High School where she lettered in soccer for four years, went to"States" in track and was co-captain of the swim team after lettering all four years.
A 1995 graduate of Colgate University, she swam for four years at the college level and was co-captain of the team of her senior year. Following graduation, she continued her athletic interest in biking, golfing, hiking and running. Julie loved athletics and made many friends among her teammates and fellow competitors. She was a friend to all who knew her.
In memory of this truly remarkable young woman,
