Flag presentation is Saturday

Flags will be presented Saturday to the parents of a Dunkirk woman who died earlier this year in a traffic accident.

Flags 4 Fallen will carry the two flags during the Sculpt Fitness 5K beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday in the east 100 block of Commerce Street in Dunkirk.

At the conclusion of the race, the flags will be presented to the parents of Sophie Robbins. She died Jan. 19 in an accident in Anderson.

Flags 4 Fallen is a volunteer group that carries flags during races “in memory of Americans who passed away too soon.”
