OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital is teaming up with the Ohio University Sports Administration Program and Athletes in Action to host the 6th Annual OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital Race for a Reason on April 22nd. Last year 1,050 people participated in one of the four events and the race raised more than $115,000 for the 107 charities, non-profits, and student organizations. Each participant is encourag
ed to race for his or her own reason by raising additional funds through donations. This year our goal is to raise $125,000 and host more than 1,250 race participants. With OHIO student organizations, clubs, fraternities, sororities and additional community organizations involved, it will be possible to increase awareness for a variety of “reasons” with personal meaning to members of the Athens community. This event is the only one of its kind, as it combines the competition of racing with the compassion of community awareness. No other event in Athens has four individual races working simultaneously to promote philanthropy, health and wellness, and fun.
