The Benny Fund 5K & Kids Fun Run

The Benny Fund will sponsor the Benny Fund Run & Walk (5K & Kids Fun Run) on October 07, 2023.  We welcome all runners, walkers, and volunteers of all ages!

The Benny Fund is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving mental health and preventing suicide through advocacy and education. We strive to ensure mental health is spoken about openly at our dinner tables, in our schools, and as a community, while working to end stigma and silence. We do this through mental health advocacy campaigns, such as Benny's Run and #projectlove, and by providing funding for mental health and suicide prevention educational programs. Additionally, we award scholarships to high school students.
