SPECIAL TRIBUTE: HONORING SUZANNE TANNER
This years Hi-Neighbor 5K is dedicated to the memory of Suzanne Tanner - a beloved runner, leader, and friend who passed away in April. Suzanne brought joy, connection, and purpose to the Rhode Island running community.
One of her favorite places was Roger Williams Park. To honor her legacy, we are raising funds to install a Memorial Bench there - a lasting tribute in a space she loved. Our goal is $5,000 to support the installation and 10 years of maintenance.
If Suzanne touched your life, or if youd like to support this tribute, we invite you to contribute and help us carry her memory forward.
