Event Description
Ben Byrns was a Fernandina Beach resident whose young life was cut short due to an accidental overdose of prescription pain medication. This rally was organized in memory of Ben, a college student who loved the outdoors, surfing, running, sports, and who was studying to become a pilot like his father. The Ben Byrns Foundation created this unique race, held entirely on the taxiways and runways of the Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, with the goal to raise funds to help prevent drug and alcohol abuse among our youth. Nassau Alcohol Crime Drug Abatement Coalition (NACDAC} seeks to educate, communicate, and be a leader in community collaboration in an effort to eliminate drug, tobacco, and alcohol use among our youth/young adults. NACDAC also heads the Heroin/Opioid Task Force for Nassau County. NACDAC has accepted the responsibility of coordinating and continuing this event to further the vision and goal of the Ben Byrns Foundation. Please consider sponsoring the 6th Annual Ben Byrns Runway Rally. Donations are tax deductible and proceeds help make a difference in local children’s lives.
