🏃‍♂️ Roberds Run 4 Your Life 5k

Roberds Run 4 Your Life 5k Sponsored by Capriotti's & The Walk to Remember is an annual fundraiser that benefits local nonprofit P.E.A.R.L. The Ben Roberds Scholarship fund was created to honor Ben’s work that was cut short by his battle with cancer on April 24, 2019, at the age of 37. The scholarship, awarded annually, creates opportunities for successful Benton County Treatment Court participants to further their education through an accredited 2 or 4-year college or a vocational school.
