With help from Guild Mortgage, we proudly support the 5k Ringer Run.

Today I’m joined by Matt Stancato from Guild Mortgage and Patrick Yerger with Ringer Run to proudly support the 6th Annual Ringer 5k Run. 

The Ringer Run was established in 2016 when a good friend of Patrick’s, Joe, lost his life to suicide. Joe was an avid runner, and so Patrick and a group of his friends set up the 5k run to raise money and awareness to support suicide prevention and mental health programs in the area. They set up the Joseph J. Ringhoffer Memorial Fund dedicated to the Penn State Student Affairs Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). They have already donated over $50,000 to local mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

During the race, there are lots of giveaways donated by the sponsors listed below, a water station, free professional photos, finisher medals, a cool course, and a meaningful cause. After the race, hang out at Levante Stables across the road from the race and show your race bib for a free beer!

There is 10% off for current High School and Collegiate Track and XC runners!

This is such a vital topic to shed light on. We know everyone has been impacted differently by mental health and we want you to know you are NOT ALONE so please join us for a day dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention.

Beth wanted to personally let everyone know that walkers are welcome! She will be walking the 5K and anyone is welcome to join her. This is a family-friendly event, so make sure to bring everyone you know! There is also a virtual run option available: Support the cause whenever, wherever (your favorite trail, road, strand, woods, or around your yard 150 times). Just register anytime before the race closes, then run it, ride it, row it, walk it, stride it, stroll it - doesn't matter how you get there. We've had people paddleboard for 3.1 miles and that counts in our book! Then we’ll send you some cool swag as a thank you.

To register for the run on Thursday, June 9, and to learn more about the programs it supports, visit www.RingerRun.com. Registration ends June 9, 2022, at 6:15 pm EDT.

Check out the list of community support from the fantastic vendors below! Because of the sponsors 100% of all donations go directly to the beneficiaries.

If you have any questions about this event or its causes, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you. Hope to see you there!
