PRESS RELEASE

The Pearland Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (PCPAAA) invites the public to join the 13^th Annual Pear Run on Saturday, May 6, 2017. The Pear Run includes a sanctioned 10K race certified by USATF, 5K race/walk and Kids’ Fun Run for children age 8 and under. The race begins at 7:00 a.m. at the Pearland Town Center, 11200 W. Broadway St. Pearland, TX.

Registration is required for the race and can be completed online at www.pearrun.com or by picking up a form at the Pearland Police Department located on Cullen Parkway and City Hall on Liberty Drive. Registration for adults is $35 in advance (through April 30^th) and $40 on race day for the 10K/5K run. Registration for Kids Fun Run is $12 before May 1^st.

The Pear Run benefits the Pearland Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association and the Pearland Police Department. Last year, the PCPAAA donated $45,000.00 towards the purchase and training of three new K-9 Officers. In 2015, $16,000.00 was donated to purchase 8 fully equipped Cannondale 29er Law Enforcement Patrol Bikes.

This year some of the funds collected will assist with sending the Pearland Honor Guard to the National Law Enforcement Memorial during National Police Week where our fallen Officer Endy Ekpanya will be honored. In addition, the PCPAAA will be able to help the Pearland Police Department procure other valuable assets as requested by the Pearland PD in 2017.
