The sixth annual Rollie Run took place June 19 at Community Homecoming Park in conjunction with the Strawberry Festival.
Held in memory of Rollie Denker III, a Springfield Township resident and 1979 graduate of Springfield High School who died in 2004, the event raises money for scholarships that are awarded to SHS students who plan to pursue a degree in the medical field.
Sherri Koback, an event organizer, said 300 people participated in this year's run/walk, raising more than $2,100 in scholarship money. Ms. Koback expressed her appreciation to this year's sponsors: Amlin Auction, Bennett's Pizza, Berquist Incorporated, Brett Denker Insurance, Cake by Kelly, Cheers Sports Eatery, Denker family, Heartandsoul Fitness Center, Holland Springfield Journal, Jinnie Corthell Photographer, Johnny Rodriguez, Knucklehead Liquidators, Nationwide Insurance, Rogers Dance Center, Silk Screen Shop, Springfield Landscape, Strawberry Festival, Subway, Taylor Learning Center, Toledo Baby, Tunies Cycle, T&S Tool, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Ultra Sound Special Events, and Wingeddesign.
