Join us for a Full Day of Fun in Freeport!
'Kick-Off with Colby' in the Morning!
Every year, we honor the memory of Colby J. Smith with the Colby Smith Memorial 4-Mile Classic. Join us on a run or walk across Freeport before you 'Toast the Town' in the evening!
The run is a 4-mile, course-certified, Rockford Road Runners circuit race. The 11th annual race will be held in Freeport on Saturday, August 25 at 8am. Trophies are awarded to the top overall male and female winners and medals are given to the top three male and female runners in all age groups. Proceeds from the race benefit the Colby Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund which provides scholarships for students to attend Aquin Catholic Schools.
Thank you for your support--and thank you to Colby's family--Tim, Mida, Jennifer, Anne, Sarah, Amanda, Enid, Shannon and their families--who have made this event possible!
'Toast the Town' at Night!
It's the inaugural event that everyone's talking about--the 'Toast of the Town' is a lively community event organized by The Legacy Foundation to raise funds for Aquin Schools.
This special night, held at the Grand River Hall, will include drinks, dining, laughs and live and silent auctions. The party begins at 5pm, with a cocktail hour (a drink ticket is included with each admission) followed by dinner at 6pm. The Silent Auction will start when the doors open and close after dinner.
At 7pm, comedian Damian Harrell, Aquin Class of 1999, will take the stage and have you rolling in the aisles. Our Live Auction bidding starts at 8pm with unique items, event packages and the ever popular 'drink trays'. Stay after the Auction and enjoy the company of old friends, family and fellow supporters of Freeport!

The Legacy Foundation
Today's generation continuing the tradition for future generations.
The Legacy Foundation is a group of 'young' Aquin alumni working to better the school and the greater Freeport community. Their current focus is to raise funds for two purposes.
Their initial goal is to raise funds to refinish the gym floor at Aquin High School. After that, they will build a seed fund to facilitate growth for their organization and enable them to support other worthy causes in the wider Freeport community.
Many thanks to the steering committee of 'The Legacy Foundation' for their vision, commitment and dedication to bring this venue and group to fruition.
