Race for Life with the Biletnikoff Foundation’s First Ever 5K, September 28, 2019 in Rocklin

Oakland Raiders Legend Hosts Charity Race for All Ages and Groups to
Prevent Domestic Violence

 

Rocklin, California –– July 18, 2019 –– The Biletnikoff Foundation is announcing their inaugural 5K Race on September 28, 2019, featuring one of the NFL Hall of Famer Oakland Raiders most legendary Super Bowl MVP champion, Fred Biletnikoff and his wife Angela.  The event will take place at William Jessup University in Rocklin, CA, where the colors of silver and black can expect to saturate an all-paved trail stretching over 3 miles, sure to be welcoming for people and pets of any age. Whether heart-pounding or superbly leisure, sports fans and enthusiasts alike can expect to experience a race filled with community support throughout the day, photo-taking with celebrity figures, music, commemorative swag, refreshments, and more, from start to finish.

 

The Biletnikoff Foundation was established by Fred and Angela to commemorate daughter Tracey Biletnikoff’s life and her untimely death and to enable young people to realize their full potential through the support of community and education programs that effectively address the related problems of substance abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking.

 

“The Race for Life is a new and thrilling initiative for the Foundation, but we’re no stranger to facilitating events with a tremendous following”, shares Angela Biletnikoff, referring to the annual Crab Fest and Golf Invitational now over 15 years in existence. “Raising awareness for teens in crisis is important to us as well as so many others, and we are up for the challenge in joining supporters and guests to the Rocklin community, while tackling domestic violence together.”  

 

Tracey’s Place of Hope located in Loomis, CA has achieved its phase one milestones to complete an extensive, residential remodel of $500,000.  The Biletnikoff Foundation is in phase two fundraising efforts to build a counseling/activity center, which will prepare young people to manage their recovery, their mental and emotional health issues, as well as teach them the necessary skills to live independently. Most teenagers come to Tracey’s Place of Hope with little or no vision for their future, but flourish when given the opportunity and proper guidance.
