Now, this is an event you will want to get behind. The Louisiana State Trooper's Charities will be holding their annual 'One Life, One Vest' 5K walk and run on Saturday, October 30th in Lake Charles.

This event is to raise money for the Louisiana State Troopers charities Troop D chapter. The money goes toward things like providing Level 4 Ballistic vests to all new Troopers upon graduation from the Louisiana State Police Training Academy as well as continue to fund our Louisiana Trooper's Charities like the Troop D Grant a Wish and local philanthropic programs.

Louisiana State Troopers Charities is inviting people to gather their folks and put a team together for the event. There is a max of 30 people per team.

There will be all sorts of great prizes teams and individuals can win.  They will have $16,000 in cash prizes to give away that day in different categories.

The money will be given away for the best-dressed team, top male and female runner, and overall fastest team.
