Description
The 3rd Annual Badge of Honor, Ruthkosky's Wine Run. Cheers to Life- Run/Walk 5k/1k for the Mental & Physical Health of NEPA Police Officers & Firefighters. We will honor those who lost the fight to mental illness while supporting those that "Serve and Save" in our community.
Proceeds raised from this event will be distributed among LRJ Foundation's programs and services, and distinguished civil service groups; Police officers , Correctional officers and Firefighters in Northeastern Pennsylvania. LRJ Foundation will offer assistance for the best Mental health & Physical Health needs for these men and women upon their request.
Derek Ruthkosky, the race's namesake, felt at home in the Taylor Borough Fire & Rescue fire hall, where his fellow volunteer firefighters considered him a brother. He was known amongst his brethren there as a friend to everyone who's smile was contagious to all.
The goal of this event is to increase positive mental health education and life skills in our schools and community, and to encourage others to take the potentially lifesaving steps of reaching out for help and make positive change in their lives.
For more information on our organization please visit :
Once participants cross the finish line they will "earn " a complimentary cup of wine .. then they will be able to visit with wine tasting and food vendors and enjoy live music located within the park.
What a fun way to increase the Mental health education in our schools and community!
