Second Annual Patrolman Samuel C. Irvin Legacy 5K Run/Walk
We are honored to host the Second Annual Patrolman Samuel C. Irvin Legacy 5K Run/Walk at Mansfield Twp. Park. The event will take place on the paved Kinkora Trail, which winds through both woods and preserved farmland. This event is in memory of our beloved son, Sam, who tragically passed away from sudden cardiac arrest on 23 July 2023, at the age of 23.
Samuel was an exceptional three-sport athlete at Northern Burlington High School and was a four-year starting pitcher. He was recognized as a trusted leader, team captain, and received New Jersey’s 2018 American Legion Sportsmanship of the Year Award. Beyond his athletic achievements, Sam was known for his extraordinary character, humility, and compassion. He was a patrolman with the Mansfield Twp. Police Department and is survived by his son, Beau Samuel Irvin.
This event, with your participation and support, will honor Sam's legacy by supporting two important causes:
- Student-athlete scholarships at Northern Burlington County Regional High School
- The Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation (TFBTBCF)
Together, we can continue to honor Sam's memory, raise awareness of Brugada Syndrome, and make a meaningful impact in our community.
