This race is in honor of  Poland Deputy Dennis P. Sampson, who unexpectedly passed away on May 5, 2018.  Deputy Sampson not only patrolled our town, but was also a long-time resident and he took much pride in his community.  He touched many lives in Poland and the surrounding towns and his presence is greatly missed.  He left behind his wife, Celeste, son Jeremy, many family members, friends, and colleagues.  Dennis spent a lot of time in our schools and helped many of the students, staff and families of RSU 16.

Funds raised will be used for a scholarship to a graduating Poland Regional High School student entering the field of First Responders ( law enforcement, police, fire, rescue, and EMS). Dennis spent a lot of time in our schools and on occasion students were  granted the opportunity to job shadow with him.
