Chardhi Kala, a 6K memorial run/walk in memory of the six people killed at the Sikh temple, will start at 10 a.m. Saturday at Oak Creek High School. On-site registration starts at 8:30 a.m. and speakers will take the podium at 9:30 a.m. Food and games will follow.
The run/walk is free, though donations are encouraged. Donations will help support the Chardhi Kala Memorial Scholarship fund.
Chardhi Kala "is the spirit or relentless optimism: a philosophy that empowers us to persevere and grow from hardship," according to an event flyer. The event will honor Ranjit Singh, Prakash Singh, Paramjit Kaur, Satwant Kaleka, Sita Singh and Suveg Khattra, who were killed on Aug. 5 of last year when a white supremacist gunman entered the temple shortly before a service was to begin.
