The run will take place on Sunday, April 5 at 1 p.m., with registration beginning at 11 a.m. Students can pre-register at the Ticket Office and have the option to pay with their FredCard. The run will begin at the Lake Shore Savings clock tower at Symphony Circle on the SUNY Fredonia campus.
Dr. Krohn, who passed away suddenly in January 2007 at the age of 73, was a well-respected, award-winning faculty member within the SUNY Fredonia School of Business. He was a faculty advisor to the SIFE team and was designated by the SUNY Board of Trustees as a Distinguished Service Professor, one of the university’s highest honors. He also received the President’s Award at SUNY Fredonia and the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. He joined the campus in 1978.
The race will honor Dr. Krohn and all proceeds raised will be contributed to the Krohn Memorial Scholarship, which was created following his passing to honor his legacy.
“With the great success of last year’s race, we have very high hopes for this year’s event,” said Meghan Thoin, a senior Business Administration/Marketing major from Buffalo and current SIFE team member who is among the organizers for this year’s race.
The Franklin B. Krohn Memorial Run seeks to keep Dr. Krohn’s memory at the forefront of the community while involving students to be a part of the cause. For more information about the run, please email Ms. Thoin or call her at 716-400-1660.
