The Miles for Mike 5K Walk/Run was held Saturday at Greenport High School. The event raised money for the Michael Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund, which was established by Michael’s family after his death in 2010.

This year’s scholarship recipient was Christopher North of Greenport.

Sharice Welch of Greenport took the lead organizing the event this year.
