The 6th Annual Wright Run 5k/10k went on as planned early Saturday, October 7th.
Despite the rain and wind, 55 participants braved the weather in support of the Wright Memorial Hospital Foundation. Early estimates are approximately $6,000, minus expenses, were raised during the event.
All proceeds from the Wright Run will support the purchase of equipment and improvements for Wright Memorial Hospital. In the past, funds from the Wright Run have financed projects including a 3-D mammography machine and the hospital walking trail.

“We want to thank everyone who came out and supported the Foundation on this wet, rainy day,” said Gary Jordan, Wright Memorial Hospital CEO, and interim Foundation Development Officer. “I also want to thank all of the volunteers, the Foundation Board, and all of our sponsors for helping to put on another successful event.”
