CHICAGO, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Garfield Ridge Stars and Stripes 5K Run, a Chicago-based charitable organization dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of fallen First Responders and Military Personnel, is proud to announce its annual event. This year, the organization will pay a special tribute to Chicago Firefighter Andrew “Drew” Price, who tragically lost his life in November 2023 while bravely battling a fire in the Lincoln Park area.
To celebrate a milestone 10-year partnership with Splash Tents, Inc., the organization has returned to purchase and feature new 10×20 custom logo pop up canopy tents, custom branded flag banners and 6ft digitally printed table covers at the 5K, ensuring a dignified and professional atmosphere for this year’s memorial.
Built to Withstand the “Windy City”
Since its founding in 2017 the organization has relied on the unmatched durability of Splash Tents to anchor its operations. These heavy-duty structures are specifically engineered to handle the sudden lakefront gusts to scorching hot days.
“In Chicago, you need equipment as resilient as the heroes we honor,” said Juan Ortega.
Their quality and reliability are why we continue to return for more fabrics, custom flag banners, and 6ft digitally printed table covers.”
