Over the weekend our Public Safety Officer Josh Isaak, alongside Chemeketa staff members Ann Marie Swearington and Odilon Ramirez Javier, participated in a 10k run event called Champions for Heroes. This is event is held annually around September 11th in honor of America's first responders. Proceeds from this event benefitted the McMinnville Fire and Police Departments, the Yamhill County Sheriff's Department, and the See You Later Foundation - a non-profit that focuses on youth and family support.
