Title
Got Your 6 Foundation Commemoration Event
History
Got Your 6 Foundation has submitted a Special Event Permit request to host a commemoration run for fallen Illinois State Trooper and Orland Park resident, Clay Carns on May 3, 2025, at Centennial Park/153rd Street Metra Station.
The run will be sponsored by Got Your 6 Foundation, a local non-profit run by Illinois State Trooper Robert Pagliaro along with Running 4 Heroes, a non-profit organization that hosts events for fallen officers.
Details of the run are still being developed. Past events include a 1-mile run where a teen runner leads a group of officers on the 1-mile path while holding an American flag. When the 1-mile is completed, the flag is presented to the fallen officer’s family.
The Got Your 6 Foundation has requested a waiver of fees paid to the Village (see attached letter). Staff seek approval to waive the $300 Special Event Fee, the $150 security deposit and the $50 rental of barricades in support of this commemorative event.
Financial Impact
Organizers will be subject to all permit requirements applicable to the production of this event.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve permitting the Got Your 6 Foundation to host a 1-mile commemorative run in Centennial Park and the 153rd Street Metra Lot on Saturday, May 3, 2025, contingent upon meeting all the Village’s permitting requirements and inspections, along with waving the $300 Special Event Fee, the $150 security deposit and the $50 rental of barricades.
