ABOUT
THE SCHOLARSHIP
Sheriff's
Deputy Jason M. Baker made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on September
17, 2001, protecting our community. Only a few days earlier Jason had shared his
thoughts with students in a classroom on the world-changing events of September
11, 2001. Jason said, "have faith, support the government at the local level,
be vigilant, pray for national leaders, reflect on what happens us as a nation,
and say thanks to public safety, fire and police personnel."
Jason's life and words will be forever memorialized at the "Heroes of Public Safety"
Memorial and through the annual Jason M. Baker Public Safety Scholarship Run at
historic Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana. Inspired by the love of
a father and by the respect of fellow public safety officers, a grateful and caring
community comes together this September and every September hereafter to honor
fallen heroes and to thank those who serve in public safety - locally, statewide
and nationally.
Jason M. Baker dedicated his life to service, community and country. Jason's father,
Jerry Baker, a law enforcement officer since 1971, worked in collaboration with
the Central Indiana Community Foundation to establish "The Jason M. Baker Scholarship
Fund." High school seniors intending to pursue a course of study in preparation
for a career in public safety at an Indiana university or college are eligible
to apply for scholarship assistance. Mr. Baker chairs the scholarship selection
committee. BENEFITS
Proceeds from
race entry fees, sale of race t-shirts and donations will go to "The Jason
M. Baker Scholarship Fund." Your support of this event is a great way to
celebrate the lives of our public safety officers and to THANK them for their
brave and unselfish service. ABOUT
CROWN HILL CEMETERY
Founded
in 1863, Crown Hill Cemetery is Indiana's largest cemetery and the third largest
non-government cemetery in the nation with over 190,000 burials. Thousands of
visitors tour Crown Hill each year to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the grounds,
study the exquisite architecture of the buildings (Gothic Chapel, 1875), sculpture,
historic Gothic gate (1885), and to visit the burial sites of Indiana's most notable
citizens. Crown Hill is the final resting place of President Benjamin Harrison,
poet James Whitcomb Riley, Col. Eli Lilly, 3 U.S. Vice Presidents, 11 Indiana
governors, and numerous other political, business, and cultural leaders, as well
as the many heroes we honor with this race and with the Heroes of Public Safety
Memorial dedicated in September 2002. New
in 2004 is the "Field of Valor," Crown Hill's newest veteran's section
and mausoleum, to be dedicated on Veteran's Day (November 11). Also featured are
a Photo Contest that runs through the end of the year and a modern sculpture exhibit
featuring Indiana artists. With
over 555 acres and 25 miles of paved roads, Crown Hill welcomes runners, walkers,
and cyclists year round. Gates open daily at 8:00a.m. and close at 6:00p.m. through
September. (Closing time from October through March is 5:00p.m.) With its park-like
setting featuring rolling hills and various types of wildlife, Crown Hill is an
urban oasis that offers a peaceful place to exercise, picnic, or to study the
history and heritage of the thousands of people buried there. Please visit the
