Organiser's Description
Welcome to the Inaugural Bryson Funk Memorial Fun Run - an event to raise funds for the Bryson Funk Memorial Scholarship.
Bryson was a 4th grade student at Linglestown Elementary School during the 2024-25 school year, and a member of the 2033 graduating class. He made a significant impact in the Multiple Disability Support classroom as a volunteer Peer Buddy, and outside of the classroom he played baseball with the Linglestown Baseball Association and was on the Competitive Cheer squad with 717 Athletics.
On June 12, 2025, at the age of 10, Bryson passed away from sudden cardiac arrest, the day after winning the Little League LBA Minors championship game, wearing his beloved #3.
This race is to help launch the Bryson Funk Memorial Scholarship, to be awarded annually in the amount of $324 to two applicants - to honor his baseball season and tournament team jersey numbers, #3 and #24. This scholarship will be awarded beginning with the 2025-26 academic year and lasting through at least the spring of 2033 (and hopefully beyond).
Registration for virtual participants will be through this page.
Local registration will be held immediately prior to the event on 10/19/25. Stay tuned for more information.
