Gone Too Soon 5K Run/Walk

The Gone Too Soon 5K was created in honor of our brother and friend Ernie Carrillo whose life was lost at the young age of 25. We want to invite everyone who has lost a family member or friend to join us and conquer the Gone Too Soon 5K in honor of their loved one. Our goal is to unite the community, spread the love, and support one another.

All proceeds will go to the Ernie Carrillo Scholarship Fund that will benefit high school graduates pursuing a higher education at a trade school, community college, or 4-year university.

Ernie Carrillo Scholarship Fund

Many of us throughout our lives have lost loved ones unexpectedly and quite honestly we do not know how to react. We all deal with the tragic situation in our own manner. The most important factor in all of our struggles is to never forget what our loved ones meant to us and to always live for them. The Ernie Carrillo Scholarship Fund is honoring a loved one of our own, Ernie Carrillo, and we would like to dedicate this scholarship to not only Ernie, but to all loved ones that have gone too soon in our community.

Ernie Carrillo attended San Pedro High School, Los Angeles Harbor College, and California State Dominguez University. He played baseball at all three institutions and was a dedicated baseball fan of all levels. His love for the game of baseball was expressed through his big heart and big smile. Ernie was a loyal friend and fun, loving family member. His friends and family would like to honor his legacy through this scholarship and hopefully we can contribute to the future success of an individual in our community.
