Run for Dylan Foundation
The Run for Dylan Foundation is a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the memory of Dylan Dorrell, a high school student who passed away suddenly. The foundation focuses on promoting kindness, providing educational support, and raising awareness about cardiac health.
Background
Dylan Dorrell was a 17-year-old cross-country runner at Guyer High School in Denton, Texas. He was known for his enthusiasm for life, as well as his interests in drawing, coding, and animation. His untimely death inspired his family to establish the Run for Dylan Foundation to carry on his legacy of kindness and generosity.
Mission and Activities
The mission of the Run for Dylan Foundation includes several key initiatives:
-
Scholarships: The foundation offers scholarships to deserving students who share Dylan's interests in coding, animation, and drawing. The scholarships are part of the Dylan Dorrell Memorial Scholarship program.
-
Cardiac Health Awareness: The organization educates the public about cardiac health and sudden cardiac arrests, often hosting events that include these educational components.
-
Community Events: The Run for Dylan Foundation organizes annual events, such as a 5K and a 1-mile fun run. These events typically feature food trucks, music, face painting, and raffles. They serve as both fundraisers and opportunities to engage the community in promoting kindness and heart health awareness.
-
Community Engagement: The foundation advocates for installing Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in local parks and public spaces to enhance emergency preparedness.
Impact
Through its activities, the Run for Dylan Foundation aims to foster a culture of kindness and support within the community, encouraging acts of friendship and inclusiveness, especially among young people. By continuing Dylan's legacy, the foundation inspires others to live with similar enthusiasm and compassion for life.
