COOPER CITY, Fla. — Robert “Mr. B” Becker, the principal of Embassy Creek Elementary for more than two decades, died last year, and he is still motivating students.
There was a sea of yellow T-shirts to honor the memory of the avid runner on Saturday morning at the Brian Piccolo Park in Cooper City.
“The absolutely surreal scene: So many people come out to support your father,” said Becker’s son Brian Becker, who added that the event raised about $15,000.
Hundreds turned out for the Becker Strong 5K, the second since his death, to help support sarcoma cancer research and students’ scholarships.
