the first Patriot run raised money for the tom cutinella Scholarship Fund.

Last year, tragedy struck after 16-year-old Thomas Cutinella, a Shoreham-Wading River High School football player, suffered a fatal head injury after colliding with another player during a football game on Oct. 1. Cutinella died later that day. To honor his memory, community members from Shoreham-Wading River gathered on Sunday at Wildwood State Park in Wading River for the first Patriot Run. The event was sponsored by the Shoreham-Wading River Wildcat Athletic Club. John Regazzi, a physical education teacher at Wading River Elementary School, created and organized the event to honor Cutinella. Regazzi said the idea for the run came about after attend-

ing Cutinella’s service. Regazzi and three other individuals created a committee last December and started discussing their plans for the event. “I was so moved by the way the community came out to show their support for Tom and his family,” Regazzi said in an email interview. “I too, wanted to do something for this family.” Regazzi was Cutinella’s teacher when Cutinella was younger. He said that even as a boy “you could see the greatness in him.” According to Regazzi, nearly 400 people attended the event to either show their support or run the race. Cutinella’s football number, 54, was also considered when they determined the length of the race, to make it a 2.54-mile run. Alice Steinbrecher, a secPaTRIoT RUN continued on page a8
