Boise, ID – The Employee’s Association of the Ada County Paramedics and the Women’s and Children’s Alliance (WCA) are thrilled to host the 11th Annual SueB Memorial 5K 10K Walk/Run Sunday, October 4 – Saturday, October 10.
This annual event is held in memory of Susan Elaine Brubaker Newby (SueB) who died during a mysterious horseback riding incident in 2008 that many believe was a result of domestic violence. After her death, Susan’s friends and family turned to the WCA, hoping to honor her life and increase awareness about domestic violence and promote healthy relationships in our community.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WCA is pleased to be able to host this event virtually to ensure the safety of participants.

“Don’t wait until your sister, daughter or mother is a victim of domestic abuse or sexual assault, step forward now and make an investment in the WCA to raise awareness about domestic violence,” said Marjory Sente, Sue’s sister.
