Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners 1804 Lewis Turner Blvd Suite 100, FWB, FI. Dear Ms. Cardreon, This year marks the 36" year the Special Forces Association, Chapter 7 has held its annual Jingle Bell Jog 10k/5k running race. This year also marks the 4" year the event is held in Northwest Florida since our organization relocated from Fayetteville, N.C. along with the 7" Special Forces Group (Airborne). 100 percent of the proceeds from this event are used by our organization to support the families of the 7" Special Forces Group (Airborne), with particular emphasis on providing support to our fallen Soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. lpm This year’s event will take place on December 13, 2014 from 8-arn to 12-am in Okaloosa Island. We would like to apply for the applicable permits from the Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners to conduct our race on the following roads: Beginning at The Boardwalk main entrance, run (east) on US 98 using both eastbound lanes until the designated turnaround point, which is just under a mile west of the Eglin AFB Beach entrance. The runners will then turn around and use the same route back to the finish point, which is located in The Boardwalk parking lot. Additionally, we will secure the required permits from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Department of Transportation. We will apply for liability insurance with a $1,000,000.00 aggregate to cover any injuries or property damages. Our volunteers will wear red shirts with white letters across the upper back with the word “VOLUNTEER”. We will also have a medical team on hand during the event. We are honored to be part of this community and thank you for your consideration. Chad Reiman Special Forces Association, Chapter 7 EID # 56-6148492 Jingle Bell Jog Race Director Phone: 865-274-8404
