Blake safe-driving race revs up participation
excerpts:
Five years after 16-year-old Blake High School student Alicia Betancourt was killed in a car crash, organizers of an annual 5K race that reminds students to drive safely in her memory hope to boost participation in the program among newer students in the school….
The race was initially held by Betancourt’s mother, Lulu Delacre, to create a scholarship fund in memory of her daughter. After reaching the scholarship’s monetary goal, the event became a fundraiser for post-prom activities and a way to create awareness of safe-driving techniques, according to Janice Hylton, event coordinator and mother of David Hylton.
