Lace up for the GO Shine Like Gwen Fun Run 2026 🏃‍♀️✨

The GO Shine Like Gwen Fun Run is a community event held in loving remembrance of Gwendolynn Owsley’s birthday. It brings together families, friends, and supporters to celebrate her life and continue her legacy of kindness, joy, and service to others.

This scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating senior who reflects Gwen’s spirit and values. The current award is a $2,000 scholarship, with the goal of growing it to a $3,000 annual scholarship as community support increases.
