2017 Run For Riché

The 2017 Run For Riché is dedicated to raising funds for The Ozark Foundation, specifically the Noah Riché Memorial Scholarship for Ozark For All. The mission of The Camp Ozark Foundation is to facilitate the emotional and spiritual growth of children and youth, regardless of wealth status, through the provision of a Christ centered, values-based summer camp experience and year round ministry and mentoring.

In partnership with urban schools, churches and charities, Ozark for All seeks to provide under-served children with an incomparable camp experience. Ozark for All is a “joint venture” between the Camp Ozark staff, alumni, parents, friends and the individual child. While providing an incomparable summer camp experience, the vision of Ozark For All is to compliment and partner with effective organizations that seek to break cycles of poverty through year-round programs that empower children. In many cases, these partners say that Camp Ozark is the highlight of a child’s year and that a scholarship to Camp Ozark is an effective reward for consistent engagement in their programs. In addition, the Camp Ozark Foundation assists in developing parameters for rewarding scholarships based on academic effort, behavior, community service and program participation.

The 2017 Run for Riché will be held on Sunday, April 2, 2017 at 9:00am at the BREC Highland Road Park.
