The late Austin Zalik of Upper Macungie, a Parkland graduate and U.S. Naval Academy midshipman, will be remembered Aug. 11 at the Totally Fit Boot Camp in Whitehall.
Zalik, 21, was killed in a tragic automobile accident last August on Interstate 78 in Berks County.
The special boot camp will take place at Hokendauqua Park in Whitehall at 9 a.m. on Aug. 11. A donation, at a minimum of $10, is asked.
The goal of the boot camp is to help raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, which was very important to Zalik, according to his family.
All of the donations collected will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
