💙🐻 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT 🐻💙

This sponsor recognition is a little different.

The Larry Prout Jr. Courage Fund was founded by Larry Sr. and Kathryn Prout after a lifetime of navigating the challenges of raising a medically complex child. What began as a desire to help one family has grown into a mission that has now helped hundreds of families facing medical crises.

As an In-Kind Sponsor of the 4th Annual Run With The Bear, Larry Sr. and Kathryn continue to donate countless hours, resources, and energy to ensure this event is successful and that families in need receive support when they need it most.

Thank you for your dedication, your vision, and your commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
