About this race

Join us for our 17th Annual Race!

TakeOff is a race to honor DUI victims, raise awareness about the seriousness of impaired driving, and encourage the community to have a positive influence in the reduction of impaired driving. All profits will go to the purchase of breathalyzers (PBTs) for the Pennsylvania State Police and other law enforcement agencies throughout the Commonwealth. Since 2009, the foundation has purchased 3,032 PBTs. This year, the goal is to raise $100,000 to purchase 200 PBTs. Join us in person at Saint Vincent College or virtually at your convenience and help us make our communities safer by providing the necessary tools to law enforcement to remove impaired drivers from our roads. Together we can make a difference; we can save lives. Thank you for support.
