5th Annual 9/11 Memorial 5K and Kids' Run
The Middletown PBA presents the 5th Annual 9/11 Memorial 5K and Kids' Run on Saturday, September 13, 2025. This fundraising event honors the 37 Middletown residents lost on September 11, 2001, and establishes a memorial scholarship for retired Deputy Chief Joseph Capriotti. Deputy Chief Capriotti served with the Middletown Twp. Police Department from 1982 to 2010, playing a critical role in the department's response to the 9/11 attacks. He responded to Ground Zero and personally notified affected families. Due to his exposure at Ground Zero, he later developed cancer and passed away in June 2019. The PBA is honored to create a scholarship fund in his name. Join us to salute these honorable citizens, especially Deputy Chief Joseph Capriotti, and activate the human spirit through movement and giving!
