FELIDA — The family of a young Felida boy who died in an accidental drowning while on vacation in California last year has organized a run to honor him.
The Jackie Cy 5K Felida Run is scheduled July 6 at Felida Park, with the kids 1 mile fun run beginning at 10 a.m. and the 5k beginning at 10:30 a.m.
All of the proceeds from the event benefit Clark County Fire District 6, with a goal of raising $10,000 to purchase a robotic fire engine used to teach children fire safety.
Jackson Cy Watson died in June 2013, 15 days shy of his fourth birthday. He had celebrated his third birthday at the Fire District 6 Felida fire station, a day his mother said he thoroughly enjoyed.
